Iran's stockpile of uranium enriched to 60% has grown to 605.8 pounds as of February 8, which marks an increase of 203.9 pounds from the previous report by the International Atomic Energy Agency. The IAEA warns that this amount of enriched uranium could potentially be used to create multiple nuclear weapons if further enriched, sparking worries among global observers.
While Iran maintains that its nuclear intentions are peaceful, the IAEA expresses significant apprehension regarding Iran's nuclear material production and its reluctance to cooperate on safeguards. Iran persists in barring certain IAEA inspectors and advancing its nuclear program, as highlighted in confidential reports by the IAEA.
