Iran has the necessary resources and capabilities to resume production of enriched uranium within a few months. This was stated on June 29 by the head of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA), Rafael Grossi, in an interview with CBS.

He noted that as a result of the Israeli and US strikes, Iran's nuclear infrastructure had suffered some damage. At the same time, some of the nuclear program facilities may remain operational.

"I would say that they can get in a few months, or even less, several cascades of centrifuges that will rotate and produce enriched uranium," Grossi said.

On June 29, the Iranian authorities banned Grossi from entering nuclear facilities. According to Deputy Speaker of the Parliament of the Islamic Republic Hamid-Reza Haji Babai, the decision is due to the discovery of confidential information about the facilities in documents received from Israel.

On the same day, U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio called Iran's calls for Grossi's arrest and execution unacceptable. This is how he commented on the material in the Iranian newspaper Kayhan, which is controlled by Iran's supreme leader Ali Khamenei.
