NEW: As Iran’s 440.9 kg of highly-enriched uranium remains unaccounted for, analysts warn the stockpile could be potentially stolen, sold to non-state actors, or diverted to a covert program in the event of internal upheaval in Iran. My story for @AP apnews.com/article/iran-n…

Iranian state media says nuclear facilities, including a heavy-water plant and a yellowcake production plant, have been targeted. apnews.com/article/iran-u…

Larry is back! 😸🥳

In the current context of the ongoing conflict, IAEA Director General @rafaelmgrossi reiterates his deep concern about recent military strikes reportedly occurring near Iran’s Bushehr Nuclear Power Plant, the latest on Tuesday evening. Given that it is an operating nuclear power plant with a large amount of nuclear material, DG Grossi warns that damage to the facility could result in a major radiological accident affecting a large area in Iran and beyond. DG Grossi calls again for maximum restraint to avoid the risk of such a nuclear accident and stresses the importance of observing the 7 pillars for ensuring nuclear safety and security during a conflict.

send this to a hard worker

Iran has received a 15-point proposal from the U.S. to reach a ceasefire in the war, two Pakistani officials told AP on condition of anonymity. Iran has insisted it isn’t engaged in negotiations with the U.S. apnews.com/live/iran-war-…

The IAEA has been informed by Iran that another projectile hit the premises of the Bushehr Nuclear Power Plant today. According to Iran, there was no damage to the NPP itself nor injuries to staff, and the condition of the plant is normal. IAEA DG @rafaelmgrossi reiterates call for maximum restraint to avoid nuclear safety risks during conflict.

After recent concerning reports about military activity near the operating Bushehr Nuclear Power Plant in Iran, IAEA Director General @RafaelMGrossi today had a phone conversation and received an update from Rosatom DG Likhachev. In accordance with the seven indispensable pillars on nuclear safety and security, DG Grossi recalled that no military action should put at risk the physical integrity and safety of NPPs and their operating staff, who must be able to carry out their vital work in safe conditions.

@BrewerEricM 😂

Maybe I spoke too soon. If all Iran has to do is shut down its “reactors” at these locations, then a deal should be within reach.

“Any deal to end the war would need to include the reopening of the Strait of Hormuz, address Iran's stockpile of highly enriched uranium, and also establish a long-term agreement on Iran's nuclear program, ballistic missiles and support for proxies in the region.” Good luck. Trump, confused and frustrated as to why Iran wouldn’t agree to U.S. terms when it had an “armada” off Iran’s coast, is setting himself up for further confusion and frustration.

The IAEA is aware of reports of an incident in the city of Dimona, Israel, involving a missile impact and has not received any indication of damage to the nuclear research center Negev. Information from regional States indicates that no abnormal radiation levels have been detected. Closely monitoring the situation, Director General @RafaelMGrossi stressed that "maximum military restraint should be observed, in particular in the vicinity of nuclear facilities".

Can’t describe the level of personal sacrifice our colleagues in Tehran are undertaking to provide the world with the visuals and details of a country under fire amid a widespread internet blackout. Honored to work alongside them every day. ap.org/news-highlight…

BREAKING: Iran says its Natanz nuclear facility has been hit in an airstrike. apnews.com/live/iran-war-…

The IAEA has been informed by Iran that the Natanz nuclear site was attacked today. No increase in off-site radiation levels reported. IAEA is looking into the report. IAEA Director General @rafaelmgrossi reiterates call for military restraint to avoid any risk of a nuclear accident.

According to the Wall Street Journal, citing multiple U.S. officials, Iran has targeted the joint U.S.-UK base at Diego Garcia in the Indian Ocean with two intermediate-range ballistic missiles (IRBM). According to the report, one missile failed in flight whilst the other was engaged by a U.S. destroyer utilizing an SM-3 interceptor, but a successful interception was not confirmed. None of the missiles hit the base. This is notable as Iranian long-range precision fires have not previously been publicly assessed as having the range to hit such a target as Diego Garcia, as the base is some 4,000 kilometers from Iran proper.

After having had to demonstrate for years that work can be done @OSCE without a formal budget, this now will allow for much better planning and execution of all programmes, despite the cut

IAEA's Grossi has been to Isfahan. He explains why removing the cylinders of uranium gas with special operators would be "very difficult"; US and Iran had discussed downblending it during failed diplomatic talks @facethenation

"Last year at the OSCE Ministerial Council meeting in Vienna, the U.S. demanded cuts in the OSCE budget exceeding 10 percent, signaling potential withdrawal from the organization if no budget cuts were achieved and if the OSCE failed to implement reforms."

BREAKING: The @OSCE just adopted its 2026 annual budget of 123 million euros—a 10.9% cut—ending a five-year impasse. My story: shrmonitor.org/osce-adopts-an…

@osce @SwissAmbOSCE_UN

For context: shrmonitor.org/the-us-threate…

I am being told the 2026 OSCE budget adopted just now amounts to 123 million Euros. For comparison: The last OSCE budget from 2021 amounted to approx. 138 million Euros. This means that OSCE participating states agreed to cuts totalling approx 15 million Euros.
