The Director General of the International Atomic Energy Agency, Rafael Grossi, has revealed the possible location of Iran’s highly enriched uranium.
Speaking to the Associated Press, Grossi said that most of Iran’s stockpile of highly enriched uranium is most likely still located at the Isfahan nuclear complex. The site was previously hit by US airstrikes last year and also experienced less severe attacks during the war on Iran that began on February 28.
Grossi stated that the International Atomic Energy Agency has satellite images showing the impact of recent US and Israeli airstrikes on Iran, adding that the agency is still receiving new information.
He also noted that inspections carried out by the agency in Isfahan ended in June last year, when Israel launched a 12-day war that concluded with the United States striking three Iranian nuclear sites.
Grossi explained that his agency believes that a large portion of Iran’s highly enriched uranium “was stored there in June 2025, when the 12 day war broke out, and it has remained there since then.”
US President Donald Trump said on Wednesday that his Russian counterpart, Vladimir Putin, had renewed his offer to help deal with Iran’s enriched uranium.
In response, Grossi indicated that “what matters is that this material leaves Iran, or that it is blended down to reduce its enrichment level.”
He added that the agency participated in nuclear talks between the United States and Iran in February, but was not part of the recent ceasefire negotiations mediated by Pakistan.
He also confirmed that the agency held separate discussions with the United States, as well as informal talks with Iran.
