International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) inspectors do not believe that Iran has hidden large quantities of its highly enriched uranium at different locations.

Axar.az informs, citing DPA, IAEA Director General Rafael Grossi stated this.

Information available to the nuclear body indicates that the material is largely held in known nuclear facilities in Isfahan and Fordo, and to some extent in Natanz, according to Grossi. But he acknowledged that a small amount could also have been taken elsewhere.

Iran possesses more than 400 kilograms of highly enriched uranium. Grossi noted that the nuclear sites at Isfahan, Fordo and Natanz had been severely damaged in strikes by Israel and the United States in June.

IAEA inspectors would gain access to these sites only "when Iran perceives a national interest" in this, he said.

The uranium would suffice for several nuclear weapons if enriched to a higher level of purity. Tehran denies seeking to construct a nuclear weapon, but concern over Iran's potential possession of a nuclear weapon "has not been fully dispelled," Grossi said.

The Argentine diplomat once again backed a peaceful solution to the conflict. "Sitting together at one table would save us the danger of another round of bombardments and attacks," he said.

He described as encouraging the fact that US President Donald Trump had recently spoken of the possibility of a diplomatic solution.
