UN nuclear watchdog warns that Iran could resume enriching uranium within months | BBC News
Iran has the capacity to start enriching uranium again – for a possible bomb – in “a matter of months”, the head of the UN’s nuclear watchdog has said.
Rafael Grossi, head of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA), said US strikes on three Iranian nuclear sites had caused severe but “not total” damage to the enrichment programme.
That contradicts claims by US President Donald Trump that the US bombing had “totally obliterated” the nuclear facilities.
Meanwhile Iran’s deputy foreign minister has told the BBC that the US must rule out any further strikes on Iran if it wants to resume diplomatic talks. Majid Takht-Ravanchi says the Trump administration has told Iran through mediators it wants to return to negotiations, but had “not made their position clear” on the “very important question” of whether they might conduct further attacks while talks are taking place.
Israel attacked nuclear and military sites in Iran on 13 June, claiming Iran was close to building a nuclear weapon.
The US later joined the strikes, dropping bombs on three of Iran’s nuclear facilities: Fordo, Natanz and Isfahan.
Since then, the true extent of the damage has been unclear.
The IAEA assessment comes after a leaked US intelligence report also concluded that the strikes had probably only set back the programme by months.
Trump retorted furiously to that, declaring that Iran’s nuclear sites were “completely destroyed” and accusing the media of “an attempt to demean one of the most successful military strikes in history”.

At least three people, including a child, have been killed in overnight Russian attacks near the Ukrainian capital Kyiv, a local official said.
In the early hours of Saturday missiles hit east of the capital and witnesses reported hearing powerful explosions just days after strikes across Ukraine killed 21 people.
Emergency crews were also fighting fires at a building and fuel tank in Kyiv, Mayor Vitaly Klitchko wrote on Telegram.
Ukraine’s state emergency service DSNS shared photos showing garages, a business and a building on fire in Kyiv, adding: “The number of victims is being clarified.”

119 more people have been rescued in Nepal following the deadly flash floods, according to the country’s armed forces.
It comes nearly a week after the disaster that hit both Nepal and neighbouring Tibet. The number of people known to have died in the disaster has passed 1,000, with more than 3,900 missing.
More than 600 of those missing are workers who are believed to be trapped in a vast network of mud-filled tunnels at hydropower sites along the Trishuli River.
The rescue operation is being led by an international team and Nepalese military personnel, with experts from India, Korea and Australia also involved.

Germany’s far-right AfD is heading for a big victory in the eastern state of Saxony-Anhalt, far ahead of its mainstream rivals, according to voting projections.
No far-right party has won control of a German state since World War Two, and governing at state level would mean powers over policing, local education and culture.
It is not yet clear if the AfD vote will be enough to take power in the state but the party says it has won a mandate to govern.
The far-right Alternative for Germany is forecast to win a record 44% of the vote, well ahead of the conservative CDU on 17.8%.
The AfD’s charismatic leader in the state, Ulrich Siegmund, said it was “sensational” and they wanted to start governing as soon as possible.
Saxony-Anhalt has a small population of 2.1 million and the AfD in the state is assessed by domestic intelligence as “right-wing extremist”, a classification rejected by Siegmund.
The AfD’s projected result is higher than earlier opinion polls suggested, and Siegmund along with joint national leaders Alice Weidel and Tino Chrupalla were overjoyed as the news emerged.
“This isn’t just about Saxony-Anhalt,” Siegmund told supporters. “It’s a signal for the whole of Germany – a self-confident signal.”

The UK’s position on the Falkland Islands is “unwavering”, Downing Street has said after Argentina’s president said the islands were “historically and legally” Argentinian.
Javier Milei said the “winds of change” favoured his country’s claim to the islands and pledged sanctions on firms planning to exploit oil close to the islands.
More than 40 years after the war over the territory, sovereignty of the archipelago in the south-west Atlantic Ocean remains hotly disputed between Britain and Argentina.
President Trump hinted the US would not help the UK in any future Falklands conflict because Britain “had not been there to help me” during his war with Iran.
