☢️ IAEA chief warns war cannot eliminate Iran’s nuclear program, urges return to diplomacy IAEA Director General Rafael Grossi said military strikes have “rolled back” Iran’s nuclear program but warned they cannot eliminate it, stressing that key capabilities and materials are likely to survive the war. ➢ Grossi said attacks on sites like Natanz, Fordow, and Isfahan caused “a lot of damage,” but impacts remain “relatively marginal” in the broader campaign. ➢ Enriched uranium remains: Iran’s stockpile of 60% enriched uranium — near weapons-grade — is still “under the rubble” or otherwise intact, posing a major unresolved risk. ➢ Knowledge cannot be bombed away: “You cannot unlearn what you’ve learned,” Grossi said, warning Iran retains the technical know-how and industrial capacity to rebuild, even after heavy strikes. ➢ No Weapons Program: The IAEA has not confirmed any weapons program, but claimed there were “many unanswered questions,” including undeclared nuclear material and restricted inspector access prior to the war. ➢ Military options: Grossi said seizing or removing nuclear material would be “very challenging,” citing hazardous materials, decoys, and complex facilities. ➢ Diplomacy still essential: He said a lasting solution requires the U.S. and Iran “back at the table,” noting talks were ongoing before the bombing and could still be revived. Grossi emphasized that inspections, and not military force, remain the only way to verify Iran’s program, warning that without a negotiated framework, the core issues will persist after the war.
An absolutely excruciating moment at the Georgia Supreme Court this week. Justice Peterson pressed state attorney Deborah Leslie over her citations to cases that apparently don’t exist.
