IAEA seeks access to Iranian nuclear material

On 27 October 2026, Rafael Grossi told the Security Council that Iran needed to provide information and access to verify its declared nuclear material.

The IAEA director general said no reconstruction activity had been identified at facilities damaged in the 2025 and 2026 attacks. He nevertheless stressed that insufficient access constrained verification of enriched uranium stocks.

The absence of detected reconstruction therefore did not prove that material or all capabilities had disappeared. Tehran maintained that its programme was peaceful and condemned the attacks; the safeguards dispute remained unresolved.
