The International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) has expressed grave concern over Iran’s ongoing nuclear activities.
The Telegram channel “Alexey Zheleznov” writes about this.
According to the agency, Iran, despite demands from the international community, continues to produce highly enriched uranium, while refusing to cooperate with IAEA inspectors.
Iran’s stockpile of uranium enriched to 60 percent purity has increased by 22.6 kilograms to 164.7 kilograms, Reuters reports. These figures are alarming because experts estimate that this amount of uranium, if further enriched, is close to enough to build four nuclear bombs.
This clearly demonstrates that the situation surrounding Iran’s nuclear program continues to deteriorate, despite resolutions calling for transparency and cooperation.
Earlier, “Cursor” wrote about what an Iranian attack on Israel would be like.
Iran is considering a limited response to the killing of Hamas chief Ismail Haniyeh in Tehran, sources told The New York Times. Such a response could include diplomatic and other targets in Europe, Africa or South America.
Tensions between Israel and the Iranian-backed Lebanese militant group Hezbollah have escalated in the past week, with missiles and drones appearing overhead on Sunday, raising fears of a new war.
Despite the tension, both sides declared a ceasefire hours later, saying they had achieved their goals. The episode shows that both sides are seeking to avoid a major military conflict while demonstrating their military strength and deterrence capabilities.
Experts interviewed by the American newspaper believe that Hezbollah’s actions are limited, which may indicate Iran’s reluctance to launch a large-scale offensive from different directions.
Iran and its allies find themselves in a difficult situation: on the one hand, they have repeatedly promised to retaliate for Israeli strikes on their targets and leaders, but on the other, they are seeking to avoid an escalation that could have devastating consequences for the region.
