IAEA chief: No evidence Iran is building a nuclear weapon​

As Israel bombs Iranian nuclear sites under International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) inspection, questions mount over nuclear double standards and the credibility of the global system.

Iran accuses the IAEA of bias and complicity, while Israel – an undeclared nuclear power – remains outside treaty obligations.

IAEA Director General Rafael Grossi responds to allegations, addresses fears of a nuclear arms race and warns of the consequences if diplomacy fails. Is the non-proliferation regime collapsing?

IAEA an 'instrument for Israel,' secret documents seized by Iran reveal​



The thousands of sensitive documents on Israel’s nuclear program, which Tehran said its intelligence managed to obtain, reveal direct cooperation between Tel Aviv and the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) against Iran, according to an Iranian media report.

“These documents clearly show that instead of playing a neutral role, the IAEA has become an instrument serving the objectives of the Zionist regime,” Fars news agency cited an informed source as saying on 10 June.

The documents prove that “Iran’s official and confidential letters to the IAEA – containing sensitive information – were channeled to the espionage agencies of the Zionist regime through covert conduits,” the report added

IAEA Chief: No nuclear weapons in Iran |​

 
Actively building versus intent to build.

If they didn't intend to build a nuclear weapon they'd need to explain why they are pushing 60% Uranium enrichment levels when 3-5% enrichment is all that is needed for energy production.

Yeah this doesn’t make sense to me either. The story just doesn’t add up.
 
This IAEA assumption is like watching a student approach the school with a brief case, shouting "Death to my classmates!" and then opening the suitcase and pulling out a stock, upper and lower and a barrel for an assault rifle and thinking "Well, he's not putting them together so this is fine.."

In my opinion, I think it is straight forward. Iran is (was?) getting into the position of having a short time to build a nuclear weapon.

Until all the pieces are in place, they can truthfully claim they are not building one. Once they have all the pieces ready, their time window is short and the Bibi who cried "Bomb!" for decades would finally be right.
 
Here we go again, just like Iraqi, the Hawks conned there way into Iraqi. Now Trump will get us into another quagmire, humans are dumb ass animals.
 
Then let Israel do the job.
 
The "Preemptive Attack" was merely a CIA/Mossad FALSE FLAG in an attempt to force a regime change in Persia and force Iranians to elect a CIA/Mossad Puppet just as it was done in Ukraine

How America Goes to War: Iraq, Ukraine and Now Iran​

By Dr. Jack Rasmus

The US bombing will occur on the flimsiest evidence supporting the claim Iran is just weeks away from having a nuclear weapon, as the US and Israel leadership and both countries’ media are saying. To the contrary, however, UN IAEA inspectors this past March 2025 publicly said there was no evidence Iran was near having such a weapon. Tulsi Gabbard, the Director of the US Director of National Intelligence, which coordinates all 17 US intelligence services, also told Congress that same month there was no evidence.

Two days ago as Trump was leaving a G7 meeting in Canada he was asked by the media what he thought of Gabbard’s view and statement. Trump replied:

“I don’t care what she said. I say they’re working on a weapon…I don’t listen to her”.

So who does Trump listen to? Netanyahu? Israel’s CIA-like counterpart, Mossad, instead of US intelligence services?

After promising during the 2024 election to stop the USA’s ‘forever wars’ in the 21st century, in less than six months in office Donald Trump is about to start another ‘forever’ war with Iran. There’ll be no prior vote in Congress, as required by the US Constitution. No seeking support of the...

They appear to be doing just that. They weakened, if not effectively eliminated Hamas. Hezbollah is full of blind peckerless soldiers. Assad is chillin' with Putin. They are making it happen.

Offing Iranian leadership in the process is just a bonus.

That's right. Not any more.

Much of the evidence has been evaporated. Now it's just the deeper stuff. LOLOLOLOL.
 
Buildling it? You mean actually assembling it? If I buy all the components to make a suicide vest, but haven't asssembled it yet am I going to be arrested if cought? Yes. Iran has been enriching uranium to levels needed to create a nuke. Uranium for nuclear power for domestic use is about 3.5% enrichment. Iran has been very close to the 90% enrichment for a while and continue to work to that level.

So let's wait until they have the bomb to worry about it?
Uranium enrichment levels determine whether it is used for nuclear fuel or nuclear weapons. Low-enriched uranium (LEU), typically 3-5% uranium-235 (U-235), is used in nuclear power reactors. Highly enriched uranium (HEU), at 90% or more U-235, is required for nuclear weapons. Enrichment levels are a crucial factor in the proliferation of nuclear weapons, as the same technology can be used to produce
 


If you've been really close to completing a project for thirty years,​

but you still haven't finished it,​

maybe you're not as motivated to complete the project as you think you are.​

"WE DID NOT FIND IN IRAN ELEMENTS TO INDICATE THAT THERE IS AN ACTIVE SYSTEMATIC PLAN TO BUILD A NUCLEAR PROGRAM"

at least you can admit to the lack of evidence
 
 
That's Aljazeera's spin on what was said. What was actually said was they couldn't affirm Iran was building a nuclear weapon.

'We did not say that,' IAEA chief denies Iran building a nuclear weapon - CNBC TV18

IAEA chief Rafael Grossi also highlighted the concerns of nuclear radiations and leaks following the Israeli attacks citing radiological events where nuclear material can disperse in the atmosphere. Read on:
www.cnbctv18.com

"For us, on the basis of our inspections, our own evaluations, we came to the conclusion that we could not affirm that there is any systematic effort in Iran at the moment to manufacture a nuclear weapon," Grossi said.
 
Iran is spending billions with no intent of building a bomb?! Someone needs to tell them that they're wasting money.
 

iow, they lacked evidence that Iran was making nukes
 
I really hope Trump walks this one back. This is the same shit Bush pulled that ultimately led to me leaving the GOP way back in the day.

There's no indication that Iran has nuclear weapons, but making a situation in which Iran plans to leave the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty is bad all along. There's no greater incentive to developing nuclear weapons than being attacked and being threatened to be attacked. As of yet, Iran doesn't have nuclear weapons. Now being attacked by Israel often and having the US President claim that we might intervene militarily might spur one to develop nukes in order to prevent attack options against them. So it doesn't behoove us to dig up the old "yellow cake" arguments and threaten these sorts of actions when we should be pushing for a ceasefire and diplomacy.
