Iran's enriched uranium closer to weapons-grade level, says UN's nuclear watchdog

Firstpost  

The U.N. nuclear watchdog says Iran has further increased its stockpile of uranium enriched to near weapons-grade levels Iran’s production of highly enriched uranium continues and it has not improved cooperation with the U.N. nuclear watchdog despite a resolution demanding this at the agency’s last board meeting, watchdog reports seen by Reuters showed on Thursday. Despite the resolution passed at the last quarterly meeting of the International Atomic Energy Agency’s 35-nation Board of Governors in June, nuclear diplomacy has largely been on hold with the election last month of Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian and the U.S. presidential election due in November. “The Director General expresses the hope that his initial exchange with President Pezeshkian will be followed by an early visit to Iran and the establishment of a fluid, constructive dialogue that swiftly leads to concrete results,” said one of the two confidential, quarterly IAEA reports sent to member states on Thursday. Iran’s stock of uranium in UF6 form enriched to up to 60% purity, close to the roughly 90% of weapons-grade, grew by an estimated 22.6 kg to 164.7 kg, one of the reports said.
