The warning from Rafael Mariano Grossi of the International Atomic Energy Agency, in response to questions from European lawmakers this week, show just how high the stakes have become over Iran’s nuclear program.
DUBAI, United Arab Emirates Iran has enough highly enriched uranium to build "several" nuclear weapons if it chooses, the United Nations' top nuclear official is now warning. But diplomatic efforts aimed at again limiting its atomic program seem more unlikely than ever before as Tehran arms Russia in its war on Ukraine and as unrest shakes the Islamic Republic.
"One thing is true: They have amassed enough nuclear material for several nuclear weapons, not one at this point," Grossi said. But the danger remains. Analysts point to what happened with North Korea, which had reached a 1994 deal with the U.S. to abandon its nuclear weapons program. The deal fell apart in 2002. By 2005 and wary of U.S. intentions after its invasion of Iraq, Pyongyang announced it had built nuclear weapons. Today, North Korea has ballistic missiles designed to carry nuclear warheads that are capable of reaching the U.S.
BERLIN, GERMANY - NOVEMBER 15: International Atomic Energy Agency Director General Rafael Grossi speaks to the media during talks with German Foreign Minister Annalena Baerbock on November 15, 2022 in Berlin, Germany. The two discussed the situationIran’s mission to the U.N.
As Iran's rial currency plunges further to historic lows against the dollar amid its crises, Iranian officials including Foreign Minister Hossein Amirabdollahian also have made unsupported claims about American officials agreeing to their demands or frozen money abroad being released.
