Iran has significantly increased its stockpile of enriched uranium in recent months, continuing its nuclear escalation even if it denies it wants to acquire the atomic bomb, according to a confidential report from the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA).
Stockpiles amounted to 5,525.5 kg as of February 10 (compared to 4,486.8 kg at the end of October), more than 27 times the limit authorized by the 2015 international agreement regulating Tehran's atomic activities in exchange for the lifting of international sanctions.
“Public statements made in Iran regarding its technical capabilities to produce nuclear weapons only increase the Director General's concerns about the correctness and completeness of Iran's statements,” the confidential report reads.
Director General RafaelGrossi once again calls on Tehran to "cooperate fully".
