IAEA chief: Iran nuclear program unmonitored for over a year, 'serious proliferation concern'

IAEA Director General Rafael Grossi told the Board of Governors that the agency has had no visibility into Iran's nuclear program for more than a year, calling it a 'serious proliferation concern' that 'needs to be rectified.' This marks a formal acknowledgment of a prolonged verification gap, likely escalating diplomatic pressure on Tehran and raising proliferation risk in the Middle East.
