Iran hasn’t tried to repair nuclear facilities damaged in US strikes, UN nuclear chief says

Nuclear inspectors have found no evidence that Iran has attempted to repair or reconstruct nuclear facilities damaged in United States and Israeli military strikes. Speaking at a United Nations Security Council meeting on non-proliferation, the head of the international nuclear agency stated that the targeted sites remain unrepaired. Meanwhile, the Department of Defense previously estimated that these strikes set back Iran's nuclear program by up to two years. The UN nuclear watchdog chief also urged Iranian authorities to grant inspectors access to verify nuclear material at the sites, as international diplomats debate ongoing diplomatic efforts and security measures.
