(Worthy News) – The head of the United Nations nuclear watchdog has issued a grave warning about Iran’s nuclear ambitions, stating that the Islamic Republic’s continued obstruction of inspections has left the global community unable to confirm whether its nuclear program is peaceful—despite clear signs that it may be anything but.

Rafael Grossi, Director General of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA), revealed Monday that Tehran has denied access to key nuclear sites, erased evidence of illicit activity, and failed to provide credible explanations for traces of enriched uranium found at undeclared facilities in Varamin, Marivan, and Turquzabad.

“The agency found man-made uranium particles at these locations and has sought answers from Iran for years,” Grossi said. “Instead, Iran has sought to sanitize the sites, which has significantly impeded our ability to verify the peaceful nature of their program.”

The IAEA recently reported that Iran increased its stockpile of uranium enriched to 60% by nearly 35% in just three months. The stockpile now exceeds 400 kilograms—enough material, experts say, to potentially produce up to ten nuclear warheads. This places Iran just a technical step away from full nuclear breakout capability.

Amid these developments, Iran has rejected a nuclear proposal submitted by the Trump administration aimed at halting Tehran’s enrichment program. Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei publicly dismissed the offer, while parliamentary speaker Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf claimed it lacked any promise of sanctions relief. On Monday, Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesman Esmaeil Baghaei confirmed that Tehran plans to present a counterproposal “via Oman” and insisted it would be “reasonable, logical, and balanced.”

According to multiple sources, President Donald Trump gave Iran until June 11 to accept a deal that includes full cessation of enrichment beyond civilian levels and unrestricted inspections. The White House has not officially confirmed the deadline, but officials familiar with the matter say the administration is taking a firm, time-sensitive approach.

Speaking with The Financial Times, Grossi acknowledged the risk of war if diplomacy fails. “Iran doesn’t have a nuclear weapon at this moment, but it has the material,” he said. “If there is a failure in negotiation, this will imply most probably military action.”

Grossi emphasized that Iran’s advanced centrifuges are located deep underground in fortified facilities, making them difficult to eliminate even in a military strike. “The most sensitive things are half a mile underground — I’ve been there many times,” he said. “You take a spiral tunnel down, down, down.”

Israel, which views a nuclear-armed Iran as an existential threat, has made clear it is prepared to strike. Following a major Iranian missile barrage against Israeli territory in October 2024—intercepted with no casualties—Israel retaliated by destroying Iran’s S-300 missile defense systems, leaving its nuclear infrastructure more vulnerable to potential F-35 strikes.

Grossi, however, expressed hope that the renewed U.S.-Iran talks under President Trump could yield a viable diplomatic solution. He praised Trump’s special envoy, Steve Witkoff, calling him “extremely serious” and credited the current administration for jumpstarting negotiations that had stalled under the previous Biden administration.

“The effect of a stabilized situation in Iran with regard to its nuclear program will be immediate and bring the Middle East one big step closer to peace and prosperity,” Grossi said.

In a report presented to the IAEA Board of Governors, Grossi detailed Iran’s systematic evasion of oversight, including the disconnection of surveillance cameras and the expulsion of inspectors since 2021. He confirmed that Tehran halted implementation of modified Code 3.1, violating its legal obligations under its Safeguards Agreement.

Grossi added that the uranium particles found at the undeclared sites, coupled with Iran’s pattern of concealment, confirm the existence of a structured, undeclared nuclear weapons program dating back to the early 2000s.

Despite these alarming trends, Grossi reiterated his support for diplomacy, anchored by strict IAEA verification, to resolve the standoff. “I will continue to support and encourage the U.S. and Iran to spare no effort and exercise wisdom and political courage to bring this to a successful conclusion,” he said.

As President Trump pushes for a tougher, enforceable nuclear deal, the world watches closely. The coming days may determine whether the Middle East edges closer to peace—or a catastrophic confrontation.

IRAN’S NUCLEAR AMBITIONS CONNECTED TO PROPHECY?

While the West often views Iran’s nuclear program through a secular lens, the spiritual aspect, which plays a central role in driving Iran’s nuclear ambitions, should not be overlooked. Iran is the only country where Twelver Shi’ism is the state religion.

Twelver Shīʿism, the largest branch of Shīʿa Islam, makes up about 85% of Shīʿas. “Twelver” signifies belief in twelve divinely appointed leaders, the Twelve Imams, with the last, Imam al-Mahdi, expected to return as the Mahdi. Twelvers see the Imams as Muhammad’s spiritual and political successors, guiding with justice and interpreting the inner meanings of the Qur’an and Islamic law. They are viewed as infallible (Ismah) and divinely chosen (nass).

The Twelvers believe that the Mahdi is expected to appear in times of extreme chaos, returning alongside Jesus as a messiah to bring peace and establish Islam globally.

Twelver beliefs, Iran’s nuclear ambitions, and threats toward Israel and the West have raised concerns. Critics suggest that Iran’s Supreme Leader might incite conflict to hasten the 12th Imam’s arrival. Former Iranian President Ahmadinejad has even called for the Imam’s return at the UN, asserting that the Islamic Revolution’s primary goal is to prepare for his reappearance.

    • You are coming up higher in this season – above the assignments of character assassination and verbal arrows sent to manage you, contain you, and derail your purpose. Where you have had your dreams and sleep robbed, as well as your peace and clarity robbed – leaving you feeling foggy, confused, and heavy – God is, right now, bringing freedom back -- now you will clearly see the smoke and mirrors that were set to distract you and you will disengage.

      Right now God is declaring a "no access zone" around you, and your enemies will no longer have any entry point into your life. Oil is being poured over you to restore the years that the locust ate and give you back your passion. This is where you will feel a fresh roar begin to erupt from your inner being, and a call to leave the trenches behind and begin your odyssey in your Christ calling moving you to bear fruit that remains as you minister to and disciple others into their Christ identity.

      This is where you leave the trenches and scale the mountain to fight from a different place, from victory, from peace, and from rest. Now watch as God leads you up higher above all the noise, above all the chaos, and shows you where you have been seated all along with Him in heavenly places where you are UNTOUCHABLE. This is where you leave the soul fight, and the mind battle, and learn to fight differently.

      You will know how to live like an eagle and lead others to the same place of safety and protection that God led you to, which broke you out of the silent prison you were in. Put your war boots on and get ready to fight back! Refuse to lay down -- get out of bed and rebuke what is coming at you. Remember where you are seated and live from that place.

      Acts 1:8 - “But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you, and you will be my witnesses … to the end of the earth.”

    • Understanding the Enemy!

      I thought I write about the flip side of a topic, and how to recognize the attempts of the enemy to destroy lives and how you can walk in His victory!

      For the Apostle Paul taught us not to be ignorant of enemy's tactics and strategies.

      2 Corinthians 2:112  Lest Satan should get an advantage of us: for we are not ignorant of his devices. 

      So often, we can learn lessons by learning and playing "devil's" advocate.  When we read this passage,

      Mar 3:26  And if Satan rise up against himself, and be divided, he cannot stand, but hath an end. 
      Mar 3:27  No man can enter into a strong man's house, and spoil his goods, except he will first bind the strongman; and then he will spoil his house. 

      Here we learn a lesson that in order to plunder one's house you must first BIND up the strongman.  While we realize in this particular passage this is referring to God binding up the strongman (Satan) and this is how Satan's house is plundered.  But if you carefully analyze the enemy -- you realize that he uses the same tactics on us!  Your house cannot be plundered -- unless you are first bound.   And then Satan can plunder your house!

    • Abraham and Issac: Pictures of the Resurrection, Part 2
      Shalom everyone,

      As we continue this series the next obvious sign of the resurrection in the Old Testament is the sign of Isaac and Abraham.

      Gen 22:1  After these things God tested Abraham and said to him, "Abraham!" And he said, "Here I am."
      Gen 22:2  He said, "Take your son, your only son Isaac, whom you love, and go to the land of Moriah, and offer him there as a burnt offering on one of the mountains of which I shall tell you."

      So God "tests" Abraham and as a perfect picture of the coming sacrifice of God's only begotten Son (Yeshua - Jesus) God instructs Issac to go and sacrifice his son, Issac.  Where does he say to offer him?  On Moriah -- the exact location of the Temple Mount.
