The head of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA), Rafael Grossi, has said there is no indication that Iran has attempted to repair or reconstruct nuclear facilities damaged in U.S. and Israeli military strikes, according to an Associated Press report.
Grossi made the remarks on Tuesday, October 27, 2026, during a United Nations Security Council meeting. He urged Iran to provide international inspectors with access to all its nuclear sites, including facilities damaged during the military attacks.
The comments come amid continuing international concerns about Iran’s nuclear programme and its potential implications for regional and global security.
U.S. President Donald Trump has said that preventing Tehran from developing nuclear weapons was one of the major reasons for the U.S. war with Iran, which began on February 28, according to the supplied report.
Trump has also maintained that U.S. strikes on Iranian nuclear facilities in June 2025 had “obliterated” the country’s atomic programme.
However, Grossi’s latest assessment focused on the absence of indications that Iran had attempted reconstruction at the damaged sites. His call for broader inspection access highlights the importance of independent monitoring in assessing the condition of nuclear facilities and the status of Iran’s nuclear activities.
Iran maintains that its nuclear programme is peaceful. Access for international inspectors remains an important issue in efforts to verify nuclear activities and address concerns raised by other countries.
The latest developments place renewed focus on the role of the IAEA in monitoring Iran’s nuclear infrastructure and supporting international efforts to establish a clearer picture of the programme.
