Iran Says Uranium Enrichment Has Stopped After June Strikes

Tehran attributes the pause to June strikes, with questions over IAEA access casting doubt on monitoring.

Overview

  • Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi said there is no enrichment at any site, citing damage to enrichment facilities targeted in June.
  • He asserted all facilities are under IAEA safeguards, even as recent reports say Iran curtailed cooperation after the E3 triggered UN sanctions.
  • The IAEA has sought long overdue inspections at several bombed sites and says it cannot verify previous 60% stockpiles since the attacks.
  • Key complexes at Fordow, Natanz and Isfahan were hit with bunker-busting munitions, and Iranian air defenses were heavily degraded.
  • Araghchi rejected prospects for talks under current U.S. terms, while Iranian officials warned they could rethink their approach if Europeans push a new IAEA resolution.
