US and Israel should agree with Grossi to conduct no further attacks on nuclear facilities. Maybe this will be discussed at the upcoming Security Council meeting.22 Jun 2025 18:07 +0000at://did:plc:7rhhsnl3cwg5chb5ctxhu6zf/app.bsky.feed.post/3ls7nvletfs2uhttps://bsky.app/profile/ian-j-stewart.bsky.social/post/3ls7ive3jpc2fI just wrote a quick piece that i'd encourage you to read and share: Eyes on the Clock - What Comes Next for Iran’s Nuclear Program I focus on the HEU, the potential for Iran to withdraw from the NPT & prospects for UN snapback.

To be clear, though, Iran had enough 60% HEU to produce 90% for 10 nuclear weapons in days at fordow. That enrichment could continue at small site in weeks. HEU must be dealt with.22 Jun 2025 14:30 +0000at://did:plc:7rhhsnl3cwg5chb5ctxhu6zf/app.bsky.feed.post/3ls7bsryov22rhttps://bsky.app/profile/ian-j-stewart.bsky.social/post/3ls5xqjuysc2gMy last job in UK government was watching Iran building these damned facilities, including fordow and trying to stop them getting equipment and material from around the world. End of a chapter. But it's not over. Need to deal with HEU.

They are not nuclear reactors.

Iran says it won't give up enrichment or negotiate in conflict. Possibility is interim 1 month agrmnt in which US does not strike while Iran provides IAEA access to nuclear sites and materials, HEU moved out of Fordow & no enrichment beyond 5%.21 Jun 2025 17:33 +0000at://did:plc:7rhhsnl3cwg5chb5ctxhu6zf/app.bsky.feed.post/3ls53kjd56k25https://bsky.app/profile/ian-j-stewart.bsky.social/post/3lryiafcs722lThere are 10 nuclear weapons worth of material (60% HEU) out of control and the IAEA doesn't know where it is.
