As stated in the October 19, 2021, Financial Times and reiterated in today's meeting, the Director General said "Iran was "‘within a few months'" of having enough material for a nuclear weapon..." Mr. Grossi has also said in the past, we cannot put the genie back in the bottle. Iran's nuclear program has grown more sophisticated and continues to do so. For this reason, I call upon the Administration to abandon its pursuit of a return to the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA) and instead focus on putting in place strong, verifiable restrictions that will permanently block Iran's path to a bomb. I remain alarmed by the actions of this predatory government, and along with the Committee, will continue to work with the IAEA to monitor this situation. | 1 | 2026-03-30T01:40:41Z | 2026-04-06T20:24:51Z |
