Head of the Atomic Energy Commission Moshe Edri warned at the IAEA conference in Vienna that Israel will not remain idle regarding Iran's nuclear program, citing massive unmonitored enriched uranium stockpiles.

Saudi Arabia announced the discovery of 110 million tons of uranium ore in the Medina region amid its efforts to develop a civilian nuclear energy program.

Mohammad Eslami, Iran's Vice President for Nuclear Affairs, was blocked from entering Austria after the US opposed a UN travel exemption, forcing him to miss the IAEA conference in Vienna.

Iran has resumed ballistic missile production in underground facilities using pre-stored components, according to US and Middle Eastern officials cited by the WSJ.

The IAEA reports that North Korea has built a new uranium enrichment facility at Yongbyon. The expansion violates UN resolutions amid stalled international inspections.

The US and its European allies are pushing an IAEA resolution to refer Iran's nuclear file to the UN Security Council. This follows Tehran's refusal to provide data or allow inspectors access to its facilities, leaving the status of 440.9 kg of 60% enriched uranium unknown.

US investigators subjected 50 Joint Chiefs officials to polygraph tests following leaks about ammunition shortages. Meanwhile, intelligence reports suggest Iran is determined to sustain the military confrontation through the US midterm elections.

According to an internal report obtained by The New York Times, agency inspectors have not been granted access to Fordo, Natanz, and Isfahan since June 2025 - and do not know the location of the stockpile enriched to 60%. In the report, IAEA Director General Rafael Grossi warned of concerns regarding nuclear proliferation.

The International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) reports that during a visit to a secret site, which Syria disclosed only in July, 73 tons of natural uranium were located, mostly in the form of fuel rods. The IAEA stated it has established control over the material, praised the Al-Sharaa regime for its transparency, and closed the investigation into Damascus.

The Syrian Foreign Minister stated: "It is our right to use nuclear energy for peaceful purposes." Overnight, Israel struck deep inside Syria, dozens of kilometers from the Turkish border.

Damascus confirms cooperation with the IAEA and the United States regarding the legacy of the Assad regime. Behind the official announcement hides a secret facility, radioactive material that worried Israel, and a covert process that has been in the works for months.

American officials say that at a facility from the Assad regime era, known as "Site 99", nuclear materials were stored from which a "dirty bomb" could be prepared. Israel threatened to bomb the facility if the nuclear material was not removed. The IAEA will soon begin removing the material from the country.

The IAEA is set to remove nuclear material from a secret site in Syria following diplomatic efforts by the Donald Trump administration. The site, known as "Site 99," contained remnants from the Al-Kibar reactor project, raising concerns about the potential for a "dirty bomb." An agreement for the removal was signed three weeks ago.

Despite heavy strikes on nuclear sites, experts estimate that a significant portion of Tehran's capability has survived. The fate of the 60% enriched uranium stockpile is unknown, but US intelligence estimates that the massive reservoir in Isfahan is still reachable. Professionals warn that the nuclear capability still exists and Iran could produce a bomb in less than a year.
