Iran has now accumulated 274.8 kg of uranium enriched to 60% purity, marking a significant increase of 92.5 kg since November. This material, nearing weapons-grade quality, is only a technical step away from reaching 90% weapons-grade level, with 42 kg believed to be enough for one atomic bomb.
The surge in enriched uranium stockpile, combined with restricted IAEA inspector access, is causing heightened global security concerns. US intelligence suggests that Iran is preparing for potential nuclear weapon production, even though it has not officially launched a weapons program.
