UN nuclear watchdog unable to verify whether Iran has suspended all uranium enrichment, complicating non-proliferation efforts.

The lack of verification complicates diplomatic efforts to monitor and control Iran's nuclear program. This development could impact ongoing international negotiations and the effectiveness of existing agreements regarding Iran's nuclear capabilities.
