Iran maintained its output of enriched uranium that world powers say may eventually be used for nuclear weapons and doubled enrichment capacity at a mountainside facility, according to the International Atomic Energy Agency.
Iran’s stockpile of medium-enriched uranium grew 31 percent to 189.4 kilograms (417.6 pounds) from 145 kilograms in May, the IAEA said today in an 11-page restricted report. The Persian Gulf country had raised production of the 20 percent enriched material by a third in the three-month period ending May 25.
