You don't know how to use a search engine? Fine I'll spend ten minutes on this for you.

Here's the page on Iran: https://www.iaea.org/topics/monitoring-and-verification-in-iran

Here's a web page where they mention Iran has 400KG of uranium enriched to 60%:

https://www.iaea.org/newscenter/statements/iaea-director-general-grossis-statement-to-unsc-on-situation-in-iran-22-june-2025

We must return to the negotiating table and allow the IAEA inspectors, the guardians of the NPT, to go back to Iran’s nuclear sites and account for the stockpiles of uranium, including, most importantly, the 400kg enriched to 60%.

The IAEA site is kinda shitty and a lot of things is in PDF only, but here's the report from just before the Fordow bombing (Midnight Hammer) last year:

https://www.iaea.org/sites/default/files/25/06/gov2025-25.pdf

First section of the Summary:

  1. While Iran continues to cooperate with the Agency on matters of routine safeguards implementation, in a number of respects as outlined in this report its cooperation with the Agency has been less than satisfactory. In particular, Iran has repeatedly either not answered, or not provided technically credible answers to, the Agency’s questions and has sanitised locations as listed in this report, which has impeded Agency verification activities. The withdrawal of the designation of several experienced inspectors was also not in line with the required spirit of cooperation.

TLDR; IAEA states that Iran had uranium purified to 60% way above the 5% needed for civilian use and they started hiding shit from the IAEA.

How do you explain why Iran would be doing these things? It's a nuclear weapons program, because it involves uranium purified above 5%. That's just science. Why would Iran be hiding things from the IAEA if they had a completely civilian nuclear program? Please apply basic logic.

So, the IAEA already knew about this, but the supposed problem is that they put the uranium in a different location after the US canceled the nuclear deal and then started hitting their civilian nuclear facilities with missiles? Ok

also, I can do without the insults btw.
