International Atomic Energy Agency Director General Rafael Grossi said in a recent interview that Iran's nuclear capabilities remain largely functional despite damage to some facilities.

Speaking with CBS News, Grossi stated that "a lot has survived" of Iran's nuclear infrastructure, indicating that the country's nuclear program maintains significant operational capacity. The IAEA chief acknowledged that damage has occurred to Iranian nuclear sites but suggested the impact has been limited.

Regarding Iran's enrichment activities specifically, Grossi told CBS that the agency has not observed signs of Iran actively rebuilding its uranium enrichment program at this time. This assessment comes as international monitors continue to track Iran's nuclear activities amid ongoing regional tensions.

The IAEA serves as the United Nations' nuclear watchdog, responsible for monitoring nuclear programs worldwide and ensuring compliance with international agreements. Grossi's comments provide insight into the current state of Iran's nuclear infrastructure as diplomatic efforts continue regarding the country's nuclear program.

Iran's nuclear program has been a source of international concern for years, with various sanctions and diplomatic initiatives aimed at limiting the country's nuclear capabilities. The IAEA conducts regular inspections and monitoring of Iranian nuclear facilities as part of its oversight responsibilities.
