According to Rafael Grossi, the director of the International Atomic Energy Agency, after the American bombings on Iranian nuclear sites, there was “Significant, but not complete damage“.
For Rafael Grossi, the Iranians could have, “In a few months, centrifuge in action to produce enriched uranium“. This is what he said in an interview recorded by CBS on Friday and broadcast this Sunday. Rafael Grossi talks about a”significant decline“In terms of Iranian nuclear capacities. But how much? This is the whole question for the boss of the IAEA who wonders about the next steps that the Iranians will cross.
In the same interview, the boss of the IAEA explains that he hopes that his inspectors will be able to go to Iran to get an idea of ​​what remains of the Iranian nuclear capacity. These experts have not seen the reserves of uranium enriched (we are talking about 400 kg) since June 10, which is why the agency asks to be able to access Iranian stocks and sites.
There is no guarantee, however, that the IAEA is able to quickly check the state of the Iranian nuclear program on the spot. Iran is indeed opposed to inspections. She criticizes the UN agency for having adopted a resolution accusing Iran for not complying with its nuclear obligations. For Tehran, it is this resolution that would have prompted Israel and the United States to bomb the Iranian nuclear sites.
