Much of Iran's near-bomb-grade uranium likely to be in Isfahan, IAEA's Grossi says
IAEA chief Rafael Grossi confirmed nearly 441 kg of uranium enriched to 60% remains stored in Isfahan, with inspections blocked since June 2025 strikes.
- In a March 9 report, the International Atomic Energy Agency said almost half of Iran's uranium enriched to 60% was stored in the Isfahan tunnel complex and likely remains there, with about 400 kilograms intact after June 2025 strikes.
- The June air campaign hit Iran's key nuclear sites at Natanz, Fordow, and Isfahan, damaging dozens of facilities, with Tehran refusing IAEA inspections afterward.
- Stored as gas in canisters, uranium enriched to 60% is accessible through a narrow entry point despite damage, while U.S. and Israeli intelligence agencies closely monitor the stockpile.
- U.S. President Donald Trump said Washington has not tried to seize the material, while Israeli officials indicated monitoring remains a priority and Mossad could intervene if Tehran moves it.
- The IAEA noted it has no credible indication of a coordinated nuclear weapons programme, even as Israel and the U.S. cite Iran's nuclear activities; it estimated 440.9 kg of 60% uranium at the time of the first attacks.
