Netanyahu Urges Global Action After IAEA Confirms Iran Uranium Increase

The International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) reported a significant increase in Iran's uranium stockpile enriched to 60 percent, nearing weapons-grade levels, with Iran now possessing approximately 409 kilograms—up 49 percent since February. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu condemned the report, stressing that Iran's nuclear program is not peaceful and that such enrichment levels have no civilian justification, urging the international community to act immediately to prevent Iran from developing nuclear weapons. The IAEA highlighted that Iran is the only non-nuclear-weapon state enriching uranium to this degree, which raises serious concerns about Tehran's intentions amid ongoing nuclear negotiations with the United States. Netanyahu reaffirmed his long-standing warnings about Iran's pursuit of nuclear weapons, while Tehran has not commented on the latest findings. The situation remains tense, with speculation about possible Israeli military action to halt Iran’s nuclear progress. The international community faces increasing pressure to respond decisively to Iran’s nuclear advancements.
