The International Atomic Energy Agency has acknowledged that it has been entirely unaware of Iran's nuclear activities for a continuous period of 97 days, with no inspector presence at any site since February 2026. This shocking revelation, presented during the IAEA Board of Governors meeting held from June 8-12 in Vienna, indicates that the agency is unable to ascertain the current whereabouts, quantity, or makeup of Iran's 440.9-kilogram stockpile of uranium enriched to 60 percent — enough material for around 10 nuclear weapons if further enriched to weapons-grade levels. This information has raised concerns among US senators and Gulf partners, who caution that Iran may be exploiting the lack of inspections to ready a secret nuclear breakout.
