Iran’s Foreign Minister Says Uranium Enrichment Has Stopped Nationwide

The claim follows June strikes that Tehran says crippled enrichment infrastructure.

Overview

  • Abbas Araghchi told an Associated Press reporter that no uranium enrichment is occurring at any facility in Iran.
  • He said there is no undeclared nuclear activity and that all sites are under International Atomic Energy Agency safeguards.
  • Araghchi attributed the stoppage to attacks that he said struck the country’s enrichment facilities in June by Israel and the United States.
  • News reports described his remarks as the government’s most direct public statement on the program since the bombings.
  • No independent IAEA verification was cited in the coverage, and AP noted its reporter received a three-day visa to report from Tehran.
