UN nuclear watchdog chief Rafael Grossi, on a visit to Iran, says that he will visit the uranium enrichment sites of Fordo and Natanz tomorrow to help him have “a full picture” of the country’s nuclear program.
“Tomorrow will be a very important step in my visit this time, since I am going to be visiting important facilities in Fordo and Natanz, which are also going to help me in having a full picture of the evolution of the program,” Grossi says alongside Iran’s Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi, according to a video sent to AFP by the International Atomic Energy Agency.
Iran has greatly stepped up its uranium enrichment in recent years to just below weapons-grade levels.
