Amid escalating international tensions, Iran is facing scrutiny over its uranium enrichment program following recent military strikes by Israel and the U.S. Reports suggest that Iran may have relocated its highly enriched uranium shortly after these attacks, leading to increased concern from the global community.

The head of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA), Rafael Grossi, is prioritizing the resumption of inspections to assess Iran's nuclear material. However, Iran's parliament has approved a bill to suspend cooperation with the IAEA until further notice.

This development casts doubt on Iran's nuclear intentions, with Western powers skeptical of the nation's high-level uranium enrichment and its commitment to peaceful applications. The international community closely watches Iran's next moves, particularly its participation in the nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty.
