Critic says 2015 Iran nuclear deal offers no basis for new agreement

On 2026-04-30, IAEA Director General Rafael Mariano Grossi said at a press conference at UN Headquarters in New York that the 2015 JCPOA could not serve as the basis for a new agreement with Iran. He said Iran's nuclear programme had changed too much and that inspectors could not yet confirm the status of enriched uranium reportedly buried under rubble after recent US-Israeli airstrikes.
