The International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) announced a total loss of knowledge regarding the status of Iran's uranium stockpile, emphasizing that it currently lacks the capability to verify whether uranium enrichment or reprocessing has ceased.

The agency noted that Iran remains the only non-nuclear-weapon state to have accumulated uranium enriched up to 60%.

It further highlighted that recent military attacks have created an unprecedented situation concerning the monitoring of Iran's nuclear program, pointing out that Iran has denied access to all nuclear facilities except for the Bushehr plant.

The IAEA confirmed that unresolved issues persist with Iran regarding undeclared sites and materials.
