UN Watchdog Expresses Concern Over Iran's Nuclear Transparency

The International Atomic Energy Agency warns that Iran's lack of transparency regarding its nuclear program raises global security concerns.

The head of the International Atomic Energy Agency, Rafael Mariano Grossi, highlighted Iran's opacity in its nuclear activities, especially after a high-ranking official claimed Iran possesses all components for a nuclear weapon.
Iran has been enriching uranium close to weapons-grade levels, accumulating enough material for several weapons, despite claims of not starting a weapons program.
Ali Akbar Salehi, a former leader of Tehran's nuclear program, indicated Iran's readiness to build a nuclear weapon, marking a significant escalation in rhetoric.
Iran's actions, including the release of ballistic missile footage, contribute to regional tensions, particularly amid ongoing conflicts and attacks targeting Israel.
The international community, including the U.S. and the UK, remains vigilant, with repeated airstrikes in response to attacks on commercial shipping in the region.
