Iran no longer enriching uranium in country in signal to West: minister
The recent announcement by Iran's foreign minister regarding the cessation of uranium enrichment signals a significant shift in the country's nuclear activities, likely influenced by the recent military actions from the U.S. and Israel. The International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) has raised concerns about Iran's near-bomb-grade uranium stockpile, emphasizing the need for inspections of nuclear sites. Additionally, regional tensions remain high, as evidenced by the seizure of a tanker near Iran's waters, further complicating the geopolitical landscape in the aftermath of the June war.
