UN Watchdog Reports Significant Increase in Iran's Uranium Stockpile

The International Atomic Energy Agency highlights a lack of progress in nuclear transparency from Iran, amid rising global tensions.

Iran's total enriched uranium stockpile has reached 5,525.5 kilograms, marking an increase of 1,038.7 kilograms since November 2023.
Despite a decrease in uranium enriched up to 60% purity, Iran's stockpile remains significantly above the threshold for potential weaponization.
Iran continues to restrict access for several of the IAEA's most experienced inspectors, complicating monitoring efforts.
No progress has been made in explaining the presence of manmade uranium particles at undeclared sites, raising concerns over nuclear transparency.
The IAEA and global powers express deep regret and concern over Iran's nuclear program developments, amidst discussions of new sanctions and increased regional tensions.
