Iran is expanding the armed uranium according to UN

Iran has disregarded internationally required measures to contain its nuclear program and increased its stock of uranium, which is enriched close to weapon -capable levels. This emerges from a confidential report by the International Atomic Energy Organization (IAEA) that the Associated Press has published.

Current stocks and developments

The IAEA report says that Iran, on October 26, 182.3 kilograms (£ 401.9) has uranium with an enrichment of up to 60%. This corresponds to an increase of 17.6 kilograms (£ 38.8) since the last report in August. Uranous, which is enriched to 60%, is only a short, technical step towards gun -capable levels of 90%. According to the IAEA, the overall supply of enriched uranium is now 6,604.4 kilograms (£ 14,560), which corresponds to an increase of 852.6 kilograms (1,879.6 pounds) since August.

military tensions and geopolitical dynamics

The reports appear at a critical time when Israel and Iran have exchanged rocket attacks in the past few months after war has passed in the Gaza ruled by Hamas. In view of Donald Trump's re-election, it is also considered how the future US administration could interact with Iran. During his first term, Trump pursued a policy of "maximum pressure" on Tehran.

reactions of the international community

Iran's leadership offered to increase the supply of uranium with 60% accumulation last week, while IAEA boss Rafael Mariano Grossi Tehran visited. Technical review measures were discussed in the talks to confirm this if they are implemented. On November 16, one day after Grossi's departure from Iran, IAEA inspectors confirmed that the country had started to interrupt the increase in its uranium stock with preparatory measures.

challenges and lack of progress

The IAEA also reported that Iran has so far taken no concrete steps to improve cooperation, despite repeated requests from Grossi. During his visit, however, Iran agreed to react to the concerns of the IAEA regarding the withdrawal of the naming of several experienced inspectors by considering the acceptance of four additional experienced inspectors.

agreements and the future of the nuclear program

In 2015, the world powers with Iran have concluded an agreement that provided to restrict uranium enrichment to levels necessary for civil use, in exchange for the cancellation of economic sanctions. After the unilateral exit from the United States from the Agreement in 2018, Iran began to gradually reduce all the restrictions set in it and to increase the enrichment to up to 60% pure.

The IAEA has already warned that Tehran has sufficiently enriched uranium to build "several" nuclear bombs if it decides to do so. In view of these developments, the international community remains vigilant and discusses possible measures to contain the Iranian nuclear program.
