Overview
- Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi said no enrichment is occurring because Iran’s enrichment facilities were damaged in June.
- Tehran rejected Western media reports of covert facilities, asserting there are no secret enrichment sites and that its program is subject to IAEA oversight.
- The IAEA has been unable to inspect since June, creating verification gaps on damage, operations, and nuclear material.
- Before the conflict, the agency assessed Iran held more than 400 kilograms of uranium enriched to about 60 percent, and how much remains is unknown.
- Iran indicated it is willing to resume nuclear negotiations with Western governments only under conditions of mutual respect and without pressure.
