The chief of the International Atomic Energy Agency has expressed alarm over Iran’s nuclear program, spelling out his concern in an interview with the Financial Times this week.
IAEA Director General Rafael Grossi told the newspaper in an interview published Wednesday that the situation was “very concerning.”
Earlier this week, Iran and the U.N. nuclear watchdog agreed to extend an expired monitoring agreement by a month. Grossi’s warning comes amid high tensions between Iran and the world powers that signed the 2015 Iran nuclear deal as negotiations between those countries to revive the deal are underway.
“A country enriching at 60 percent is a very serious thing — only countries making bombs are reaching this level,” Grossi told the FT.
“Sixty percent is almost weapons grade, commercial enrichment is 2, 3 [percent].”
While he said it was Iran’s “sovereign right” to develop its program, which Tehran insists is for civilian energy purposes only, he added: “This is a degree that requires a vigilant eye.”

Not really, they're a signatory to the Treaty on the Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons, bound by and in violation of it's terms
Surprise! Surprise!
As a sovereign nation, they can decide to get out of the treaty. But they’d have to make a formal declaration, I think. WTH use are such treaties, anyway. The only people who sign them have no intention of abiding by them. Israel never signed this treaty, and never confirmed that we had nukes, either. Keep them guessing so they don’t want to f@#$ with us. On the other hand, Ghaza knows we would never nuke them, so they constantly f@#$ with us.
Too many people on this earth. Half will have to get off. It’ll happen. Whakos getting the bomb, the virus, an asteroid. Let’s not forget the Yellowstone volcano Lew Rockwell’s site reminds us of from time to time. How many of them can we control?
Yes, they'd have to withdraw like North Korea did.
Just a 10% kickback for the big guy!
Bomb them.
🇮🇱
Israel and other countries better get in front of this before there is a nuclear war...
What a load of horse crap.
Anyone with two brain cells to rub together knows the a-holes are building a bomb.
I guess we should be happy they have to build it, and the Obama/Biden Administration hasn’t just sent them a bunch of already manufactured ones for free.
Yes, of course, the key element.
Hopium.
Yeah. About a mega tone.
So of course, Biden must enable it.
