IAEA Reacts to Nuclear Weapons Development Claims in Iran

The International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) does not believe that Iran should be recognized as a nuclear power, stating that there is no information regarding the development of nuclear weapons in the country. This was stated by IAEA Director General Rafael Grossi in an interview with CBS that aired on Sunday. The information was reported by TASS.

“Given the current level of enriched uranium production, Iran has already accumulated enough material to have more than one device if they choose to do so. However, we have no information that shows Iran has a nuclear weapons development program at this time,” the head of the IAEA replied.

He was also asked whether the relationship with Iran has reached an irreversible point, and whether it is time to recognize it as a nuclear power. “No, we have not yet reached that point. But we need to work very diligently to ensure that we do not reach there,” he concluded.
