A high-ranking UN official stated: 'There will only be the illusion of an agreement.' Grossi specified that his agency has confirmed a rapid increase in activities at North Korea's nuclear facilities. However, in the case of Iran, the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) reported that Iran has a reserve of 440.9 kilograms (972 pounds) of uranium enriched to 60% purity. This reserve could allow Iran to build up to 10 nuclear bombs if it decided to convert its program into a weapon, according to technical calculations. IP Iran's Response The response from the Argentine Grossi did not take long to arrive from Tehran and came from the spokesman for the Iranian Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Esmail Baghaei: 'Enriching uranium is indisputable, but the level of that enrichment is negotiable.' 'No one can strip Iran of its right to the peaceful use of nuclear energy, neither by coercion nor through war. We have emphasized that Iran should be able to continue enriching according to its needs,' added the spokesman for the Minister of Foreign Affairs, Abbas Araghchi. #AgenciaNA Buenos Aires, April 14 (NA) — The Argentine Rafael Grossi, Director General of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA), warned this Wednesday that 'very detailed' measures to verify Iran's nuclear activities must be included in a potential peace agreement between that country and the United States, international media reported. Grossi held a press conference when information emerged indicating the proximity of an understanding and even an extension of the truce established a few days ago. According to the Argentine, an exhaustive verification regime for Iran's nuclear program is necessary, according to a report by The Associated Press news agency, which consulted with Agencia Noticias Argentinas. 'A very ambitious and extensive nuclear program' 'Iran has a very ambitious and extensive nuclear program, so all of this will require the presence of IAEA inspectors. Regarding the level and type of enrichment, we have always affirmed that that topic is negotiable. Otherwise, there will be no agreement.'
