- Araqchi announced the possible extraction of enriched uranium under the supervision of the IAEA
On March 15, Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araqchi commented on the state of the country's nuclear program after the attacks by the United States.
According to him, stocks of enriched uranium are currently under the rubble of destroyed enterprises. Araqchi stressed that any actions with these materials in the future are possible only with the participation of international inspectors.
"Our nuclear facilities have been attacked, and everything is under rubble. Of course, it is possible to extract the materials, but under the supervision of the agency (IAEA). If we ever decide to do this, it will be done under the supervision of the agency," the minister said in an interview with CBS News.
At the same time, the diplomat clarified that Tehran has not yet started work to eliminate the consequences in these areas.
"At the moment, we have no program, no plans to extract uranium from the rubble," he said.
On March 13, the head of the Rosatom state corporation, Alexei Likhachev, pointed out that there were no signs of Iran developing nuclear weapons. IAEA Director General Rafael Grossi noted that the Iranian nuclear program has always attracted a lot of attention.
On March 2, the United States and Israel attacked Iran's Natanz nuclear facility twice. CNN, citing satellite images taken by Vantor, reported damage to the facility on March 3.
All important news is on the Izvestia channel in the MAX messenger.
