According to a confidential UN nuclear watchdog report, Iran has increased its production of highly enriched uranium even more. This comes after Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi stated on Saturday that Tehran views nuclear weapons as “unacceptable.”
Iran has significantly expanded its uranium enriched stockpile to as much as 60%, which is over 90% of the level required for atomic weapons, according to the most recent assessment from the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA), which AFP was able to view.
Iran has an estimated 408.6 kilograms enriched to up to 60% as of May 17, up 133.8 kilograms since the last report was released in February, according to its quarterly report.
Iran currently has more than 45 times as much enriched uranium than was permitted in 2015.
