IAEA Director Rafael Mariano Gross said he was seriously concerned that the issue of protection remains unresolved at the opening of the IAEA Committee’s quarterly meeting on Monday at the IAEA Committee Committee’s quarterly meeting on Monday.
“Following my last report, Iran’s uranium stockpile, which enriched U‑235 by up to 60%, has increased from 182 kg in the past quarter to 275 kg,” he said.
“It has been four years since Iran stopped implementing its nuclear-related commitments under the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA), and therefore it will take four years for the agency to implement complementary access in Iran, including provisional application of additional protocols,” he said.
“Before you, I have also reported my report on the NPT Safeguard Agreement with the Islamic Republic of Iran. Iran has declared all the nuclear material, activities and locations needed under the NPT protection measures. However, this statement is inconsistent with findings of uranium particles of artificial origin in the current location, in the current location, in the current location, in the current location, in the current location, in the current location, in the current location, in the current location, in the current location, in the current location, in the current location, in the current location, in the current location, in the current location, in the current location, in the current location, in the current location, in the current location, in the current location, in the current location, in the current location, in the current location, in the current location, in the current location, in the current location, in the current location, in the current location, in the current location, in the current location, in the current location, in the current location, in the current location, in the current location, in the current location, in the current location, in the current location, in the current location, in the current location, in the current location, in the current location, in the current location, in the current location, in the current location, in the current location, in the current location, in the current location, in the current location, in the current location, in the current location, in the current location, in the current location, in the current location, in the current location, in the current location, in the current location, in the current location, in the current location, in the current location, in the current location, in the current location, in the current location, in the current location, in the current location, in the current location, in the current location, in the current location, in the current location, in the current location, in the current location, in the current location, in the current location, in the current location, in the current location, in the current location, in the current location, in the current location, in the current location, in the current location, in the current location, in the current location, in the current location, in the current location, in the current location, in the current location, in the current location, in the current location, in the current location,
“Iran also has conflicting material balances for uranium involved in the uranium metal production experiment carried out at the Jaber Ibn Hayan Mutlipurpose Laboratory, which Iran has not explained,” Grossi said.
“Iran has not yet implemented the revised Code 3.1 because he said it has stopped implementing such an implementation. This is Iran’s legal obligation,” he added.
“High-level engagement is essential for real progress. A visit to Tehran last November and a meeting between President Masudo Pezeshkian and Foreign Minister Abbas Aragut shows that there may be some room for constructive compromise.
“I have my latest report on the issue of Iran’s nuclear program before you, in light of UN Security Council resolution 2231 (2015), on the issue of Iran’s nuclear program,” the IAEA chief said.
