The UN's top atomic regulator, Rafael Grossi, stated that reviving the 2015 nuclear deal with Iran is now irrelevant, as Iran is on the verge of becoming a nuclear threshold state. Iran has surpassed stockpile limits and increased production of uranium enriched to near-weapons grade levels. Grossi emphasized that the original accord is no longer useful due to Iran's stronger capabilities in its nuclear program. The Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action, signed in 2015, aimed to curb Iran's nuclear activities and lift sanctions, but was abandoned by the US in 2018. Efforts to renegotiate the deal have failed, and tensions have escalated as Iran continues to ramp up enrichment activity.
