Indications from an early intelligence assessment on the impact of the strikes began to emerge.
Iran’s nuclear program has been set back “significantly,” the director general of the International Atomic Energy Agency said in an interview on Fox News Tuesday. But he didn’t specify whether that meant “years.”
IAEA Director General Rafael Mariano Grossi described Iran’s nuclear capabilities before June 13 and said their nuclear capabilities are now as “night and day.”
“But it is clear that there is one Iran before June 13 — nuclear Iran — and one now,” he told Fox News. “It is night and day.”
When asked about where Iran potentially moved enriched uranium, Grossi said the IAEA does not know, and stressed the need for inspection activity to resume.
“We do not have information of the whereabouts of this material,” he said. “The way to assert that is to allow the inspection activity to resume as soon as possible and this would be for the benefit of all.”
Grossi said he “wouldn’t argue” with Vice President JD Vance’s statement on Fox News when he said Iran’s nuclear program has been obliterated without the ability to enrich uranium to 90% and convert that to a nuclear weapon.
Saying “60% is not 90[%],” he added, “So, I agree the Vice President is right in his assessment, from the perspective of the United States of America. He’s talking about a military mission, and the criteria for success. I respect that, but my job is a different one. All right, my job is to try to see where is this material, because Iran has an obligation to report and account for all the material that they have.”
