UN Nuclear Watchdog Says Iran Has No Nuclear Weapons Program

JAKARTA - The International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) or the United Nations Nuclear Supervisory Agency revealed that its inspectors have not found any evidence that Iran is building a nuclear program as Israel-US has been accusing for years.

IAEA Director General Rafael Grossi told NBC News on Tuesday, February 3, that his party had not identified "elements of a systematic and structured program to produce nuclear weapons" in Iran.

At the same time, Grossi said Iran had enriched uranium to 60 percent purity - a level far beyond civilian energy needs.

Grossi said such enrichment is something "only possessed by countries that have nuclear weapons".

However, Grossi stressed that IAEA inspectors could not conclude that Iran intended to build a bomb, but said the stockpile raised serious questions.

This enrichment, he said, is a "source of concern that we have", and "there is no clear purpose" to accumulate material at that level.

"The centrifuge spins continuously and produces more and more of that material," he said.

He added that theoretically this would "be enough to produce more than 10 nuclear warheads. But do they have them? No!"
