The International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) has been unable to inspect Iranian nuclear facilities since the United States and Israel launched attacks on the sites in June 2025, according to a confidential report seen by The Associated Press. This development follows heightened tensions in the region after the 12-Day War, when military actions targeted key Iranian nuclear and military sites. The inability of the IAEA to access these facilities suggests a significant breakdown in verification and oversight, raising concerns about the status of enriched uranium and overall regional stability. The report indicates a continuing post-ceasefire standoff, with Iran not restoring full IAEA access, contributing to increased geopolitical uncertainty.

Key Takeaways

The lack of IAEA inspections appears to decrease the likelihood of Iran agreeing to end uranium enrichment by June 30, as suggested by market pricing.
The reported resilience of the Iranian regime post-strikes suggests an increased likelihood of its survival, consistent with current market pricing.
Market pricing suggests a reduced probability of Iran agreeing to halt uranium enrichment by December 31, reflecting ongoing geopolitical tensions.

What to Watch

Observers will closely monitor any diplomatic developments that could impact the IAEA’s access to Iranian facilities, as these could alter market expectations. Statements or actions by key actors, such as Ayatollah Ali Khamenei or U.S. officials, may provide further indications of potential shifts in Iran’s nuclear policy. Additionally, any new agreements or sanctions could significantly influence market sentiment regarding Iran’s compliance with uranium enrichment cessation.
