IAEA says Iran stored highly enriched uranium at underground Isfahan site

Feb 27, 2026, 14:04 GMT+0Updated: 17:20 GMT+0

Some of Iran’s most highly enriched uranium, enriched to up to 60% purity, was stored in an underground area at its nuclear site in Isfahan, the UN nuclear watchdog said in a confidential report seen by Reuters on Friday.

It is the first time the International Atomic Energy Agency has specified where uranium enriched to that level, close to weapons grade, has been kept.

The entrance to the tunnel complex was hit in US and Israeli military strikes in June, diplomats said, but the underground facility appears to have remained largely unharmed.
