IAEA Director General Rafael Grossi told the UN Security Council that inspectors still cannot confirm Iran has not diverted nuclear material, including 440 kg of highly enriched uranium that remains unaccounted for, more than a year after US and Israeli military strikes on Iranian nuclear sites forced inspectors to leave the country (Arab News, October 27). Grossi said there is no sign Iran is rebuilding the struck nuclear sites, but the agency has not been able to verify the whereabouts of the material (Arab News, October 27).
This is a continuing flashpoint with direct implications for sanctions policy, nonproliferation law, and the risk of renewed military action. It intersects with other regional diplomatic efforts, including Egypt-Iran talks aimed at avoiding renewed US-Israeli strikes and Oman's proposed regional non-aggression pact.
