UN nuclear watchdog says 'no progress' has been made in monitoring Iranian nuclear program: report
Fox News
A new International Atomic Energy Agency report detailed the agency's difficulty monitoring Iran's nuclear program, despite promises for better compliance from Iran.
The report comes as Iran has still not followed through on a March promise to reactivate surveillance devices it deactivated last year, while a separate unreleased IAEA report showed the country's stockpile of enriched uranium was more than 18 times the limit set during the nuclear deal (JCPOA) reached between Tehran and world powers in 2015.
The IAEA has faced issues with "verification and monitoring" of the Iranian program since "Iran's decision to stop implementing its nuclear-related commitments under the JCPOA," the agency said in one of the reports, according to CBS News, who obtained a copy of the report. The IAEA said the situation has also been "exacerbated by Iran's subsequent decision to remove all of the Agency's JCPOA-related surveillance and monitoring equipment."
