The director-general of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA), Rafael Grossi, said that Iran continues to increase the amount of uranium, including one that reaches 60 percent.
“Regarding the issue of Iran’s nuclear program, you have my latest report on Verification and monitoring in Iran in light of United Nations Security Council Resolution 2231 (2015). You will note that Iran’s stockpile of enriched uranium continues to increase, including that enriched up to 60 percent.
The Agency has lost continuity of knowledge concerning the production and inventory of centrifuges, rotors and bellows, heavy water and uranium ore concentrate,” he said, as he addressed the board of governors.
Grossi pointed out that it has been more than three years since Iran stopped provisionally applying its Additional Protocol and, therefore, it is also over three years since the IAEA was able to conduct complementary access in Iran.
“There has been no progress in resolving the outstanding safeguards issues. Iran has not provided the Agency with technically credible explanations for the presence of uranium particles of anthropogenic origin at Varamin and Turquzabad or informed the Agency of the current location(s) of the nuclear material and/or of contaminated equipment,” the IAEA chief added.

He said he submitted a report on the IAEA safeguards agreement with Iran to the organization.
“You will note that Iran’s stockpile of enriched uranium continues to increase, including that enriched up to 60%,” Grossi said in an introductory statement to the IAEA Board of Governors.
“Further public statements made in Iran regarding its technical capabilities to produce nuclear weapons and possible changes to Iran’s nuclear doctrine only increase my concerns,” he went on to say.
The agency will not be able to provide assurance that Iran’s nuclear program is exclusively peaceful if Tehran doesn’t comply with the safeguards agreement, according to the IAEA chief.
