International Atomic Energy Agency: "A Lot Has Survived" of Iran's Nuclear Capabilities
(CBS News) Melissa Quinn - Rafael Grossi, director general of the International Atomic Energy Agency, said Thursday that "a lot has survived" of Iran's nuclear capabilities. He said last year's strikes on three nuclear facilities were "quite effective. There has been a lot of impact on the program. One cannot deny that this has really rolled back the program considerably." "But my impression is that once the military effort comes to an end, we will still inherit a number of major issues that have been at the center of all of this." Grossi said one of those issues is Iran's inventory of uranium at 60% enrichment, as well as facilities, infrastructure and equipment, which could be damaged. "They have the capabilities, they have the knowledge, they have the industrial ability" to rebuild enrichment capacity.
