The International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) has raised alarm over an uninspected Iranian uranium enrichment plant at Isfahan. In a confidential report to member states seen by Reuters on Friday, the IAEA said it is "increasingly concerned" about the underground Isfahan Fuel Enrichment Plant (IFEP), which Iran declared last year but has not allowed the watchdog to inspect. The agency stated it does not know the plant's exact location, its status for safeguards purposes, or whether it contains nuclear material. This is a developing story.
