According to a report by The Times Of Israel on March 15, 2026, Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi stated that Iran’s stockpile of highly enriched uranium remains buried “under the rubble” following attacks on its nuclear facilities and that Tehran currently has no plans to recover it or negotiate its dilution amid the ongoing US-Israeli bombing campaign.
In an interview with CBS’s “Face the Nation,” Araghchi said, “Our nuclear facilities were attacked, and everything is under the rubble. Of course, you know there is the possibility to retrieve them, but under the supervision of the [International Atomic Energy Agency].
If one day we come to the conclusion to do that, it would be under the supervision of the agency. But for the time being, we have no program. We have no plan to recover them from under the rubble.” See More/Details…
