IAEA: Iran’s Enriched Uranium Stockpile Surges

The International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) has reported that Iran now possesses 408.6 kilograms of uranium enriched to 60%, marking a 50% increase since February 2025 and enough material for multiple nuclear bombs if further enriched. The IAEA confirmed that Iran previously conducted undisclosed nuclear activities at three sites up until the early 2000s. In response, the US, UK, France, and Germany are pushing for a formal resolution declaring Iran in violation of its non-proliferation obligations at the upcoming IAEA Board of Governors meeting, a move condemned by Iran. The IAEA criticized Iran's cooperation as 'less than satisfactory,' citing unexplained uranium traces at several sites. Nuclear negotiations between Tehran and Washington remain stalled, while Israel has renewed calls for urgent international action. The situation has intensified international concerns, raising the risk of military escalation if diplomatic efforts fail.
