Iran may settle disputes with International Atomic Energy Agency atomic energy (IAEA) through cooperation and negotiation, but not under pressure. This was stated by Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Arakchi in a conversation with the head of the IAEA, Raphael Grossi, reports "Reuters", quoted by News.bg.
In 2023, Tehran gave significant assurances to the UN nuclear watchdog that it would help resume a long-delayed investigation into uranium particles found at undeclared sites and that it would restore removed monitoring equipment. Despite these commitments, the IAEA's reports to member states indicate that little progress has been made in implementing them.
Iran is enriching uranium to 60 percent purity, which is close to the 90 percent or so needed to make an atomic bomb. According to the IAEA, if this material were further enriched, it would be enough to produce two nuclear weapons.
However, Iran denies that it is seeking to develop nuclear weapons. However, no other country has enriched uranium to such a high level if it had no intention of producing nuclear weapons.
