Iran could be able to start producing enriched uranium again “in a matter of months”, the head of the UN’s nuclear watchdog said, adding that there is no military solution to stop Iran from developing a nuclear weapon.
Rafael Grossi, head of the International Atomic Energy Agency, said that while US bombs had dealt a “very serious level of damage” to Iran’s nuclear facilities, “one cannot claim that everything has disappeared and there is nothing there”.
In an interview with CBS news due to air on Sunday, Grossi said: “They can have, you know, in a matter of months, I would say, a few cascades of centrifuges spinning and producing enriched uranium.”
