\"\"VOA \u2014 The head of the United Nations\u2019s nuclear monitoring agency says he will travel to Iran next month in hopes of reviving the 2015 accord aimed at curbing Tehran\u2019s nuclear activities.<\/p>\n

Speaking Tuesday in Brussels before members of the European Parliament\u2019s security and defense subcommittee, Rafael Grossi, the director-general of the International Atomic Energy Agency, said the Islamic Republic has accumulated 70 kilograms of uranium enriched to 60% purity, with another 1,000 kilograms enriched to 20% purity, \u201cenough nuclear material for several nuclear weapons \u2014 not one at this point.\u201d<\/p>\n

The threshold for making nuclear weapons is considered to be 90% purity. But Grossi told the panel that Iran\u2019s huge stockpile of enriched uranium does not mean it has a nuclear weapon.<\/p>\n

Grossi also said the IAEA is no longer monitoring Iran\u2019s nuclear program because the regime has disconnected 27 of the agency\u2019s cameras installed at its declared nuclear sites.<\/p>\n

Iran and six world powers, including Britain, China, France, Germany, Russia and the United States, signed the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action that restricted Iran\u2019s nuclear program in exchange for relief from U.S. and international sanctions.<\/p>\n

The U.S. withdrew from the agreement in 2018 under former President Donald Trump, who argued the plan was ineffective and imposed a so-called \u201cmaximum pressure\u201d campaign on Iran, which restricted Iran\u2019s ability to sell oil on international markets<\/p>\n

The signatories have held several rounds of talks since 2021 aimed at reviving the original pact.<\/p>\n
