IAEA Questions Grow Over Iran’s Isfahan Underground Enrichment Site
The IAEA says Iran’s new underground uranium enrichment facility at Isfahan may be operational or could be an “empty hall,” and inspectors have not yet visited to verify. If the site is fully equipped, it would be Iran’s fourth enrichment plant. Iran reportedly holds about 440 kg of 60% enriched uranium, which could be boosted to 90% weapons-grade, potentially yielding enough material for about 10 weapons. With a visit canceled, there are many questions about how advanced the facility is and Iran’s true intentions amid ongoing US-Israeli concerns and regional tensions.
