Iran could resume enrichment of uranium within a fewer months, despite fresh raids by the US and Israel on its atomic facilities, said Rafael Grossi, General manager of the global Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA).
In an interview with CBS News published on Sunday, Grossi said that attacks on Iranian atomic facilities, including Ford, Natanz and Isfahan, caused ‘very serious level of damage’but any assets “still standing.”“The possibilities they have [Iran] are. I would say that in a fewer months they may have respective cascading centrifuges and producing enriched uranium, or less” He added that even the Iranians most likely do not know the degree of the damage.According to the Head of the IAEA, Iran maintains crucial industrial capacity."Iran is simply a very advanced country in terms of atomic technology, which is obvious.
So you can't undo it.
You cannot undo the cognition you have or the ability you possess’.
Grossi continued by saying that concerns about the Iranian atomic program could not be resolved by a military solution.
"I think this should be the stimulus we all request to gotta realize that... you will not solve this in a definitive military way.
You will have an agreement”, said, expressing hope that the IAEA inspectors would shortly regain access to the country's atomic facilities.Iran banned inspectors from entering its atomic facilities, accusing the agency of distorting the facts in a fresh study that Tehran claimed served as a justification for Israeli and American attacks.
Grossi replied: "Really, who can believe that this conflict happened due to the IAEA report? And by the way, what was in that study was not new.”These comments emerged after a 12-day conflict between Israel and Iran during which the US and Israel carried out air strikes on Iran's atomic facilities.U.S. president Donald Trump stated that the attacks “completely destroyed” Iranian atomic facilities and warned against further attacks if Iran were to prosecute atomic weapons.
However, respective U.S. media suggested that the harm to Iran's atomic infrastructure was limited.Tehran denied that he had plans to produce atomic weapons and maintains that his atomic program has peaceful goals, stressing that he wants to reserve the right to enrich uranium for civilian use.
