According to a recent IAEA report, Iran has accumulated enough enriched uranium to potentially produce approximately ten nuclear weapons. This represents a significant increase in its stockpile. The report indicates Iran's 60% enriched uranium stockpile has grown by about 50% in recent months, reaching 408.6 kilograms. This enrichment level provides enough material for roughly ten nuclear weapons, up from a previous estimate of six. The IAEA also expressed concerns about Iran's lack of cooperation with investigations into undeclared nuclear material. International discussions continue regarding a new nuclear agreement.
