Iran's Uranium Stockpile Must Be Addressed, Grossi Says

Summary

IAEA Director General Rafael Grossi discusses the location and status of Iran's enriched uranium stockpile after a 12-day war last year. He states the IAEA believes most of the stockpile remains at the Esfahan compound, with possible small amounts above ground at Natanz. Grossi emphasizes the material must be addressed and options include shipping it out or down blending.

• Grossi says IAEA knows where most of Iran's uranium stockpile is, believed to be at Esfahan.
• Some enriched uranium may be above ground at Natanz and accessible.
• The material must be addressed through negotiation, with options like shipping out or down blending.
• IAEA's role is to ensure the material is not diverted and is accounted for.
