The International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) has indicated that the risk of Iran covertly pursuing nuclear weapons has increased since the military actions by the US and Israel began a year ago. According to a restricted document reviewed by Bloomberg, Iran's large stockpile of near-bomb-grade uranium is no longer subject to weekly inspections, raising concerns about potential diversion for non-peaceful purposes. The IAEA report highlights new nuclear proliferation risks that have emerged due to the ongoing conflict. Inspections of Iranian nuclear sites have decreased significantly since the war began, with monitors not returning to key locations. IAEA Director General Rafael Mariano Grossi emphasized the importance of verifiable agreements in negotiations regarding Iran's nuclear program. The upcoming IAEA board meeting on June 8 is expected to provide further insights into the situation.
