Middle East live: 'MAKE THE DEAL IN GAZA,' Trump posts - as 23 killed in Israeli strikes
Nuclear watchdog chief: Iran could start enriching uranium for a bomb within months Iran could start enriching uranium for a nuclear bomb within months, a watchdog chief has warned. International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) chief Rafael Grossi told CBS News that Tehran would not be far from getting its nuclear programme back on its feet after US and Israeli strikes. In an interview filmed on 27 June but aired today, Grossi said: "The capacities they [Iran] have are there. "They can have, you know, in a matter of months, I would say, a few cascades of centrifuges spinning and producing enriched uranium, or less than that. "But as I said, frankly speaking, one cannot claim that everything has disappeared and there is nothing there." For context: Last weekend, Donald Trump waded into the 12-day war, sending US B-2 bombers halfway around the world to strike Iranian nuclear sites. Washington's bunker buster bombs targeted sites like Fordow - which is built into a mountainside. In the aftermath, Donald Trump and senior members of his team were quick to claim they had "obliterated" Tehran's nuclear infrastructure. Defence secretary Pete Hegseth even went as far as holding a press conference with one of the most senior military officials, Dan Caine, where he lambasted journalists for what he claimed was "fake news". After all that, the IAEA chief's words likely won't be overly welcome in Washington. For more on Trump's Pentagon vs the Press, listen to the latest episode of Trump 100 here:

IAEA chief says Iran could be enriching uranium within months
June 29 (Reuters) - Iran could be producing enriched uranium in a few months, the head of the U.N. nuclear watchdog Rafael Grossi was quoted as saying on Sunday, raising doubts about how effective U.S. strikes to destroy Tehran's nuclear programme have been. U.S. officials have stated that their strikes obliterated key nuclear sites in Iran, although U.S. President Donald Trump said on Friday he would consider bombing Iran again if Tehran is enriching uranium to worrisome levels. "The capacities they have are there. They can have, you know, in a matter of months, I would say, a few cascades of centrifuges spinning and producing enriched uranium, or less than that," Grossi told CBS News in an interview. "Frankly speaking, one cannot claim that everything has disappeared and there is nothing there," he added, according to the transcript of an interview on "Face the Nation" with Margaret Brennan due to air on Sunday. Saying it wanted to remove any chance of Tehran developing nuclear weapons, Israel launched attacks on Iran earlier this month, igniting a 12-day air war that the U.S. eventually joined. Iran says its nuclear programme is for peaceful purposes only. Grossi, who heads the Vienna-based International Atomic Energy Agency, said the strikes on sites in Fordow, Natanz and Isfahan had significantly set back Iran's ability to convert and enrich uranium. However, Western powers stress that Iran's nuclear advances provide it with an irreversible knowledge gain, suggesting that while losing experts or facilities may slow progress, the advances are permanent. "Iran is a very sophisticated country in terms of nuclear technology," Grossi said. "So you cannot disinvent this. You cannot undo the knowledge that you have or the capacities that you have." Grossi was also asked about reports of Iran moving its stock of highly enriched uranium in the run-up to the U.S. strikes and said it was not clear where that material was. "So some could have been destroyed as part of the attack, but some could have been moved," he said.
