UN Inspectors Warn of Lost Knowledge Over Iran Nuclear Work.

The article discusses the implications of Iran's ban on international nuclear inspections, which has resulted in a significant loss of oversight regarding its nuclear activities, as reported by United Nations monitors. The International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) has been unable to verify Iran's enriched uranium stockpile since mid-June, leading European powers to refer Iran back to the Security Council for potential sanctions. The IAEA noted a critical gap in knowledge about Iran's nuclear material inventories, with recent satellite images indicating that attacks by Israel and the US have severely limited UN inspectors' access to Iran's nuclear facilities. The situation has escalated tensions surrounding Iran's nuclear program, which has been a point of contention for decades, particularly following the US withdrawal from the 2015 nuclear deal.
