Rafael Grossi: The JCPOA may no longer be effective
The Director General of the International Atomic Energy Agency warned that Iran’s nuclear ambitions should not be ignored and emphasized that the revival of the JCPOA may no longer be effective, and Tehran and world powers should negotiate a new agreement.
In an interview with the Financial Times published on Thursday, November 30, Rafael Grossi said that the international community should not overlook the dangerous aspects of Iran’s nuclear program due to focusing on the Israel-Hamas war.
Last September, the US and Iran reached an agreement to exchange prisoners and release six billion dollars of the Islamic Republic’s assets in South Korea, which raised hopes for the two countries to reach a nuclear agreement.
Mr. Grossi stated that although the pace of growth in Iran’s 60% uranium stockpile has slowed, this growth continues. According to him, Iran previously produced 15 kilograms of 60% uranium monthly, but in the past few months, this figure has been about seven kilograms per month.
