The UN nuclear watchdog said it has found no proof that Iran is running a weapons programme, despite US and Israeli claims. IAEA chief Rafael Grossi said inspectors saw no evidence of “a systematic and structured program to manufacture nuclear weapons.” He confirmed Iran has enriched uranium to 60 per cent purity. He said this level is high but added, “Do they have them? No.” US envoy Steve Witkoff said Iranian officials told US negotiators they had 460 kilograms of 60 per cent enriched uranium. He claimed it could make “11 nuclear bombs.” Iran has denied seeking nuclear weapons. (PC: India Today)
