"Iran has enough uranium for a nuclear bomb, warns IAEA; US threatens to destroy site"
Iran's nuclear program and international tensions: Key points
1. IAEA warning:
The director of the UN's Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA), Rafael Grossi, has said that Iran has a stockpile of 60% enriched uranium, which is enough to make a nuclear bomb.
Some of Iran's nuclear facilities are still intact, and it could restart its nuclear program in a few months.
Iran has blocked the IAEA from inspecting the Fordow nuclear site and has broken off its partnership with the agency.
2. US-Israeli attacks:
On June 13, Israel launched attacks on Iran's nuclear and military sites.
The US claimed to have damaged Iran's Fordow, Natanz and Isfahan nuclear facilities with B2 bombers.
After the attacks, Iran stopped cooperation with the IAEA, making it difficult to monitor nuclear activities.
3. Iran-US war of words:
Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi warned Trump to stop insulting Khomeini.
Trump tweeted that he "saved Khomeini from a terrible death," to which Iran responded by saying, "If Trump wants a deal, change your language."
Israeli Defense Minister Yoav Galant said that Israel wants to kill Khomeini, but it is out of reach.
4. Tehran prison attack:
The Iranian judiciary confirmed the death of 71 people in the June 23 Tehran prison attack.
Iran has accused Israel of carrying out the attack.
Outcome and further discussion:
The world community is concerned about Iran's nuclear program.
Tensions between the US, Iran and Israel are rising, which could lead to more war or a diplomatic solution.
The IAEA's role is important, but the breakdown in communication with Iran has led to a loss of information.
In this situation, the need for peaceful negotiations and international pressure has increased.
