According to the annual US intelligence threat assessment report, Iran is not currently developing a nuclear weapon. The report published by the office of the Director of National Intelligence emphasizes Iran’s stance amidst escalating tensions.
Despite Iran’s denial of nuclear weapon development, the report highlights concerns over Tehran’s enriched uranium stockpile. The International Atomic Energy Agency’s recent findings indicate a significant increase in Iran’s uranium inventory.
The report also mentions President Trump’s letter to Iran, giving a two-month deadline for a new nuclear deal. Iranian officials have expressed reluctance towards engaging in direct talks under the reinstated “maximum pressure” campaign.
Leaders from China and Russia have urged for diplomacy and respect for international law in dealing with Iran’s nuclear program. They emphasize Iran’s right to develop peaceful nuclear energy in accordance with global regulations.
