Since the International Atomic Energy Agency’s (IAEA) latest report on Iran’s nuclear program leaked out of its restricted channels on February 26, there has been a steady expression of dissatisfaction, and even alarm, at the relative lack of detail contained in the report. Nonproliferation experts such as Olli Heinonen and David Albright have, rightly, noted that previous IAEA reports on Iran have offered far greater granularity on the technical status of Iran’s nuclear program and its compliance with its international obligations. They have also, rightly, suggested that the absence of such data from the IAEA will make it more difficult for monitors outside of governments to verify the IAEA’s conclusions on Iran’s compliance with its obligations under the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA) and the IAEA Safeguards Agreement.
