The United Nations‘s nuclear chief warned that Tehran could begin enriching uranium once again in a few months after Iran’s main nuclear facilities were targeted in U.S. strikes.

Rafael Mariano Grossi, director general of the International Atomic Energy Agency, told CBS News in a Friday interview that the damage done to Iran‘s nuclear facilities was clearly “severe” but not “total.”
