IAEA increasingly concerned about Iranian enrichment plant, its report says

The article never says that Iran told the IAEA in February that the Isfahan plant itself had come under attack, a claim the agency says it cannot verify. Without it, a reader of S7's call for Iran to report the status of its plants may believe Iran has given the agency no account of the plant at all.

Reuters reports a confidential IAEA report saying the agency is increasingly concerned that Iran has not let inspectors visit the Isfahan enrichment plant it declared in June 2025. The article names Israel and the United States as the bombers, explains why the planned inspection never happened, and keeps the IAEA's concerns attributed to the agency. It omits Iran's February statement to the IAEA that the plant itself had been attacked, so a reader hears no Iranian account of the plant's status.
