Iran announced it is withdrawing from the September Cairo agreement to resume IAEA inspections just hours after the UN watchdog demanded information on Iran’s enriched-uranium stockpile and on sites bombed in June. Iranian officials say there is currently no enrichment at any site and have suspended cooperation, arguing bombed facilities are unsafe for inspectors, while the IAEA reports it has been unable to verify Iran’s near‑weapons‑grade uranium stockpile for months even as its director says Iran does not appear to be actively enriching but shows renewed activity at some sites.
