Iran could be able to produce uranium again “in a few months”, said the head of the United Nations Nuclear Wächter and added that there is no military solution to prevent Iran from developing a nuclear weapon.
Rafael Grossi, head of the International Atomic Energy Agency, said that the US bombs had called “very serious damage” for “very serious damage” Iran“S nuclear facilities” cannot be said that everything has disappeared and there is nothing “.
In Interview with CBS News Due to air on Sunday, Grossi said:
Grossi’s comments follow a week of contradictory claims about the damage that the Iranian nuclear program of Israeli and US forces started during the 12-day war of Israel this month.
Israel On June 13, the bombing of the Iranian nuclear and military facilities began and also killed several high-ranking Iranian nuclear scientists in a number of targeted assassination. The United States then bombed three of Iran’s most important nuclear facilities: Ford, Natanz and Isfahan on June 21.
However, the true extent of the damage to the Iranian nuclear program, which Tehran exists, is unclear for peaceful civilian purposes.
Donald Trump, the US President, said the sites were “wiped out” while the Israeli military officer Eyal Zamir said that Israel believed that the project had returned by “years” – although he warned that this did not mark the end of the Israeli campaign.
However, both the US and the European secret services have proposed that the damage could have been less extensive, and a preliminary US assessment passed on to the media this week, which indicates this week Matter of months.
A central question is the fate of the 400 kg stock of highly enriched uranium -an important part of a bomb -the preliminary intelligence reviews that are intended for European governments indicate that are largely intact.

“We don’t know where this material could be or whether part of it could have been under the attack in these 12 days,” Grossi told CBS.
“Some could have been destroyed as part of the attack, but some could have been moved. So there must be clarification at some point.”
He added that Iran kept the know -how in the enrichment of uranium quality. “There is a natural truth that the knowledge is there. The industrial capacity is there,” he said. “Military operations or not, you will not finally solve this militarily.”
