Iran's Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi states that enriched nuclear material remains among the ruins after Israel's attacks on Iranian nuclear facilities this summer.

All our material is under the ruins of the bombed facilities, says Araghchi in a TV interview, and adds that the authorities in the country are assessing the condition and availability of the material.

The statement comes after Iran and the International Atomic Energy Agency, IAEA, agreed on a new cooperation agreement. Iran severed its ties with the IAEA after the twelve-day war with Israel in June, when Israel and the US carried out attacks on Iranian nuclear facilities.

Araghchi says that the access of the UN nuclear inspectors to undamaged facilities will be considered "from case to case". When it comes to the facilities that have been attacked, he says that the situation is more "complicated".
