In a candid revelation, the UN's nuclear watchdog chief, Rafael Mariano Grossi, disclosed to The Associated Press that while Iran isn't actively enriching uranium, recent movement has been noted at its nuclear sites.

Despite restricted access to these sites, Grossi emphasized that inspectors haven't detected accelerated uranium production beyond pre-June levels, although stockpiles enriched to 60% remain in the country.

Relying heavily on satellite imagery, Grossi highlighted the necessity of on-ground inspections to verify that enriched materials aren't being diverted for unauthorized use, calling this verification 'very, very important.'
