IAEA Concerned Over Iranian Enrichment Plant

The UN nuclear watchdog reported growing concern over an uninspected uranium enrichment plant in Iran. Inspectors have been denied access to the Isfahan facility since strikes last year.

Iran blocked the UN nuclear watchdog from inspecting its Isfahan enrichment facility, raising proliferation concerns in a Friday report. The site remains unvisited following a 12-day bombing campaign by Israel and the United States in June last year. The lack of access leaves inspectors unable to verify stockpiles of uranium close to weapons grade.
