The head of the United Nations’ nuclear watchdog said his agency was “extremely concerned” about undeclared uranium enrichment in Iran with negotiations aimed at restoring the 2015 nuclear deal still “frozen.”
In the last few months the International Atomic Energy Agency was “able to identify traces of enriched uranium in places that had never been declared by Iran as places where any activity was taking place,” Director General Rafael Mariano Grossi told the European Parliament on Tuesday.
