Iran's Uranium Stockpile Soars: Near Weapons-Grade Levels Reached

A confidential report from the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) reveals that Iran has significantly increased its stockpile of uranium enriched to 60% purity, approaching the weapons-grade threshold of 90%. As of May 17, 2025, Iran possesses over 408 kilograms of this highly enriched uranium, enough to potentially produce several nuclear weapons. This development raises serious concerns among the international community, especially as Iran continues to assert its nuclear program is for peaceful purposes.
