On 27 September 2018, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu showed[7] the UN General Assembly a photo of an alleged nuclear storage facility in Turquzabad. On 8 September 2019, nearly a year after Netanyahu's claim, Reuters reported quoting two diplomats close to the International Atomic Energy Agency as saying that uranium samples were found at the site.[8]
