In light of the US-Iran ceasefire agreement revealed on June 15, 2026, Iran continues to hold its complete inventory of highly enriched uranium — a resource that US and Israeli intelligence suggest could be enough to manufacture several nuclear arms. According to the terms of the pact, Iran pledged to halt any further enrichment and the development of nuclear facilities, yet the current stockpile remains within Iran's borders and will only be discussed in negotiations over the coming 60 days. Iran has stated it has no plans to create a nuclear weapon and contests the interpretation that it is obligated to relinquish its uranium reserves. Pentagon officials acknowledge that the issue of whether to eliminate or dispose of Iran's existing nuclear materials is still not settled.
