Local police this week arrested at least 10 antiwar advocates who were part of a protest that included about 50 people outside the National Nuclear Security Administration’s (NNSA) Kansas City National Security Campus in Kansas City, Mo., the local Kansas City Star reported.

The Star did not say why the protesters chose to demonstrate at the Kansas City National Security Campus, which manufactures the non-nuclear parts of nuclear weapons.

The head of the U.N.’s International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) hopes to travel to Iran within “the next few weeks” to reestablish personal talks with Iranian senior leaders, he said Monday in a press conference Monday in Vienna, after making remarks to the U.N. Security Council.

Iran’s stockpile of enriched uranium does not mean the country has a nuclear-weapons program, but the stockpile “is not irrelevant and raises questions in the international community,”   Rafael Grossi, IAEA director general, told reporters. 

IAEA inspectors continue their work on the ground in Iran, but communication between the agency and Iranian leadership is “not there at the level that we consider we should be,” Grossi said.
