IAEA Warns Iran Accelerating Nuclear Development, Urges Diplomacy

IAEA chief Grossi holds a press conference after Iran trip

The International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) has issued a warning regarding Iran's increased pace in nuclear development, just days after President Donald Trump re-entered the White House. According to the IAEA, Iran has amassed a significant amount of uranium, with the potential to develop nearly five nuclear weapons if further enriched.

IAEA Head Rafael Grossi revealed that Iran currently holds approximately 440 pounds of uranium enriched to 60% purity, which falls short of the 90% purity required for nuclear bomb production. It is estimated that 92 pounds of weapons-grade uranium are sufficient to create one nuclear bomb.
