IAEA head Rafael Grossi stated that no ZNPP reactor can be safely launched due to the unstable situation and threat to the seven pillars. The water level in the cooling pond is approaching critical, and military activity near the plant increases the risks.
The IAEA has received information about a new dam at the ZNPP, which provides cooling for the reactors, but does not have access to it. This complicates the assessment of the nuclear safety situation at the plant.
IAEA inspectors resumed work in Iran after evacuation, but there is no final agreement on cooperation. Tehran insists on the peaceful nature of its nuclear program.
Rafael Grossi, head of the IAEA, received round-the-clock protection from the Austrian "Cobra" due to Iranian threats. Tehran accuses him of facilitating Israel's attack and demands his removal from office.
The Minister of Defense of Ukraine met with his Latvian counterpart, discussing further cooperation. Latvia allocated 2 million euros for arms procurement and participates in the Drone Coalition.
At the Russian-occupied Zaporizhzhia NPP, water supply problems for cooling six reactors have sharply increased. The IAEA warns that the situation could escalate into a crisis dangerous for Europe.
A fire near the cooling towers of the temporarily occupied Zaporizhzhia NPP did not increase radiation levels. The IAEA confirmed no threat to nuclear safety and no casualties.
The Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Ukraine calls on international partners to increase pressure on Russia for the demilitarization and de-occupation of the ZNPP. This comes after the IAEA team recorded artillery shelling near the plant, which is a violation of international law and creates a risk of nuclear catastrophe.
Members of the IAEA team heard artillery fire near the Zaporizhzhia Nuclear Power Plant on August 6, which lasted for over an hour. IAEA Director General Rafael Grossi expressed deep concern about the military activity near the plant.
The IAEA team at the Zaporizhzhia Nuclear Power Plant confirmed that radiation levels at the facility have not increased. This was stated by the Director General of the IAEA, Rafael Grossi.
The IAEA team at the Zaporizhzhia NPP recorded hundreds of small arms fire on the evening of July 12. The next morning, numerous shell casings were found near power units No. 5 and No. 6, indicating military activity.
President Zelenskyy met with IAEA Director General Grossi at the Ukraine Recovery Conference. The parties signed a Memorandum of Understanding on cooperation in supporting Ukraine's recovery, including security guarantees at the Khmelnytskyi NPP and support for uranium mining.
The International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) withdrew its inspectors from Iran due to a new Iranian law that criminalizes the activities of international monitoring missions. This decision caused concern among Western countries and intensified the isolation of Iran's nuclear program.
The IAEA Director-General stated that Iran's nuclear facilities were seriously damaged, but not completely destroyed. Iran has the industrial and technical potential for a possible resumption of its nuclear program.
IAEA Director General Rafael Grossi said that Iran could resume uranium enrichment within months, despite previous American strikes. The country's existing industrial and technological capabilities allow them to quickly resume this process.
Donald Trump criticized Ali Khamenei for his statements about "slapping America," threatening renewed bombings of Iran if uranium enrichment continues. Trump also stated that he saved Khamenei from death by rejecting plans from Israel and the US.
Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi refutes Trump's statements about resuming nuclear talks after the bombings. Iran also denies UN inspectors access to bombed nuclear facilities and suspends cooperation with the IAEA.
IDF announces Israeli military has set back Iranian nuclear program by years. New satellite images from Maxar Technologies confirm extensive damage to Iranian nuclear facilities in Natanz, Fordow and Isfahan.
IAEA Director General Rafael Grossi insists on a diplomatic resolution to the conflict between Iran, Israel, and the US and proposes returning the agency's inspectors to Iran. He notes that attacks on nuclear facilities threaten the global non-proliferation regime and could have catastrophic consequences.
US President Donald Trump said that Iran's nuclear program was "completely and utterly destroyed" by American bombs, but senior US officials admitted they don't know the fate of Iran's uranium stockpile. The Iranians removed "bomb-grade" uranium from the facility, and satellite photos confirm serious damage to the uranium enrichment plant in Fordow.
The IAEA confirmed Israel's strike on a nuclear facility in Isfahan, hitting a centrifuge production workshop. This is the third such facility attacked by Israel in the past week.
IAEA Head rejects Iran's accusations that the report on nuclear violations justifies Israel's strikes.
The IAEA cannot confirm the location of 409 kg of uranium, enriched to near weapons-grade, due to fighting. Inspections have been suspended, and the exact location of the material is unknown.
The Israeli attack on the uranium enrichment facility in Iran may have damaged centrifuges due to power outages. Four buildings were damaged at the nuclear facility in Isfahan.
The EU is preparing for a complete rejection of fossil fuel imports from Russia, but plans regarding uranium are being postponed for now. Sanctions are in effect, however, the EU is still dependent on Russian nuclear technologies.
IAEA chief Rafael Grossi said that no additional damage was detected at Iran's enrichment facilities after the Israeli strikes. Inspections will continue as soon as the security situation allows.
Maxar satellite images showed the aftermath of Israel's strike on Iran's nuclear facilities in Natanz and Isfahan. The plant where Iran was enriching uranium was destroyed.
The radiation background at the Iranian facility in Natanz remains stable following reports of an attack. The IAEA confirms that there is no increase in radiation levels in the area.
Following Israeli strikes, the IAEA reported that the Bushehr nuclear power plant was not affected, and radiation levels did not increase at the facility in Natanz. The nuclear facility in Isfahan and the plant in Fordow were also unaffected.
Ukraine and the IAEA agreed that until nuclear safety standards are met, the launch of the Zaporizhzhia NPP is impossible. Halushchenko and Grossi discussed the development of nuclear energy.
