Iran could resume enriched uranium production within just a few months, warns Rafael Grossi, the Director General of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA). Despite significant damage to Iran’s nuclear facilities, the country still possesses the industrial capacity and knowledge to produce enriched uranium, posing a serious threat to global security.
Grossi told CBS in an interview that Iran has sophisticated nuclear technology and that a few cascades of centrifuges could soon be spinning again. “You can’t say everything is gone, Iran had a very ambitious program, and part of it may still exist,” Grossi said.
Although Iran’s facilities have suffered serious damage, especially in Fordow, Natanz, and Isfahan, the capacities for processing, conversion, and uranium enrichment have not been completely destroyed. Grossi emphasized that there is a significant stall, but the risk of Iran continuing nuclear activities remains.
The IAEA chief called for a return to the negotiating table and a technical resolution of issues related to Iran’s nuclear program. He stressed that now is an opportunity to resume talks and that Iran’s nuclear program will certainly be part of those discussions.
This situation comes amid reports from U.S. media about a supposed offer of $30 billion in aid to Iran for developing a civilian nuclear program, which was denied by former U.S. President Donald Trump, who called the claims “ridiculous” and “false.” Trump dismissed the possibility that his administration considered such aid, emphasizing that these are falsehoods aimed at humiliation.
As the world watches these tensions, it is clear that Iran still has the capacity and knowledge to produce enriched uranium, which could have far-reaching consequences for international security. Grossi warned that the IAEA will need to regain access to Iranian facilities to assess the real situation and prevent potential escalation.
If negotiations are not resumed, the world could face new nuclear challenges, and Iran could continue its nuclear program unchecked. This is a red alert for all who believe in peace and stability worldwide.
Will the talks succeed, or will Iran continue its path toward nuclear weapons? Only time will tell, but one thing is certain — the world cannot turn a blind eye to this threat. What do you think? Is the world ready to face this danger, or will we watch problems get swept under the rug again? Drop a comment and let the conversation roll!
