from 21st Century Wire:
On May 31, the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) disclosed that there were 408.6 kg of uranium enriched to 60%, including 166.6 kg located at the Fordow nuclear site in Iran, issuing a caution regarding a possible “nine-bomb” breakout. According to Reuters, which reviewed the IAEA confidential report, the UN nuclear watchdog concluded that “three locations (Lavisan-Shian, Varamin, and Turquzabad), and other possible related locations, were part of an undeclared structured nuclear programme carried out by Iran until the early 2000s and that some activities used undeclared nuclear material.” This report eventually led to a censure on June 6 (with a vote of 19–3), thereby facilitating Israel’s strike on June 12. A separate IAEA report sent to UNSC member states indicated that Iran’s stockpile of uranium enriched to around 60% purity has risen by 50% to 408.6 kg, nearing the 90% threshold for weapons-grade material. The IAEA stated this quantity could potentially produce nine nuclear weapons if further enriched. What wasn’t explained is how the IAEA came to these conclusions with zero evidence to back up their allegations…

On June 12, 2025, Israel initiated “Operation Rising Lion,” aimed at Iran’s Natanz nuclear site and the heavily fortified Fordow bunker, leading to numerous fatalities, among them two IRGC commanders and one nuclear scientist. Prime Minister Netanyahu was quick to characterise Israel’s unprovoked strike as a direct assault on the heart of Iran’s nuclear aspirations. Meanwhile, President Trump, with the backing of CENTCOM’s General Kurilla, cautioned of dire repercussions.
The Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesperson Esmaeil Baqaei Hamaneh’s response was immediate, with Tehran strongly criticising the UN nuclear watchdog, accusing its head, Rafael Grossi, of bias and alleging IAEA alignment with Israel amidst Tel Aviv’s aggression on Iran. Hamaneh’s allegations arose following Grossi’s statement, which unfortunately came too late, that the regulatory body lacked any evidence of a coordinated attempt by Iran to develop a nuclear weapon.
DG @rafaelmgrossi:“We did not have any evidence of a systematic effort [by Iran] to move into a nuclear weapon.”
This is too late, Mr. Grossi: you obscured this truth in your absolutely biased report that was instrumentalize by E3/U.S. to craft a resolution with baseless… pic.twitter.com/A2cQcyqiFy— Esmaeil Baqaei (@IRIMFA_SPOX) June 19, 2025
The IAEA had announced that it had identified Iran as being in violation of its nuclear commitments for the first time in two decades. On June 6, a resolution, advocated by Germany, France, and the UK, with backing from the US, along with the UN nuclear regulatory body, charged Iran with “non-compliance” regarding the nuclear agreement. Ultimately, this resolution served as the justification for Israel and the United States to initiate, six days later, a military strike on Iran, targeting three Iranian nuclear sites, killing 610 individuals and injuring 4,746 citizens of the Islamic Republic, including women and children.
So, what exactly led the IAEA to this conclusion? To answer this question, we must look back to 2015, when the Vienna-based nuclear regulatory agency employed Palantir’s Mosaic, a $47 million counterinsurgency-level AI platform, to examine more than 400 million data points—including satellite images, trade records, metadata, and social media conversations—to forecast nuclear advancements. The Mosaic software, which is not subject to any form of auditing, was created by Palantir, a firm co-founded by Peter Thiel, an associate of Trump, and intended to forecast intentions and detect irregularities rather than to provide solid evidence of nefarious activities. Presently, Iran claims that IAEA Director General Rafael Grossi shared Mosaic’s analytics with Israel, thus effectively turning a United Nations organisation into a political weapon with the power to authorise military intervention on a preemptive basis, since the IAEA director describes MOSAIC as “a minority report for Uranium”
