UN Inspectors Warn of Lost Knowledge Over Iran Nuclear Work

Iran’s ban on international nuclear inspections has led to a critical loss of knowledge about the country’s atomic work, United Nations monitors wrote in two restricted reports, their first since the Israeli and US attacks on the Islamic Republic in June.

The International Atomic Energy Agency reiterated that it hasn’t been able to verify Iran’s stockpile of enriched uranium since mid-June, according to two documents seen by Bloomberg. Because of Iran’s failure to cooperate with the IAEA, European powers last week referred Iran back to the Security Council for a resumption of UN sanctions.
