"Atomic watchdog says Iran not complying with nuclear safeguards"
The draft for Thursdays resolution highlights serious and growing concerns since at least 2019 that Iran had failed to cooperate fully with the UN agencys inspectors.
Tehran has repeatedly been unable to explain and demonstrate that its nuclear material was not being diverted for further enrichment for military use, the draft text maintains.
Iran has also failed to provide the UN agency with technically credible explanations for the presence of [man-made] uranium particles at undeclared locations in Varamin, Marivan and Turquzabad, it continues.
Unfortunately, Iran has repeatedly either not answered, or not provided technically credible answers to, the agencys questions, IAEA chief Grossi said on Monday. It has also sought to sanitize the locations, which has impeded Agency verification activities.
According to Mr. Grossi, Tehran has stockpiled 400 kilogrammes of highly enriched uranium.
Given the potential proliferation implications, the agency cannot ignore [this], he told the UN agencys governing board on Monday.

For about half a century, all of the world's research reactors ran on highly enriched uranium.

You are not going to convince me that enriching uranium is only carried out for warlike purposes.
