Iran’s stockpile of uranium enriched near the level needed for nuclear weapons surged more than 50% in the last three months, defying mounting pressure on the Islamic Republic to curb its atomic activities.
In its first report on Iran since US President Donald Trump returned to the White House last month, the International Atomic Energy Agency said Tehran had increased the monthly accumulation rate for highly-enriched uranium sevenfold since December. The country is now producing the equivalent of one bomb’s worth of material a month, according to IAEA figures.
