The International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) has disclosed that Iran possesses a stockpile of enriched uranium that could potentially be used to produce more than ten nuclear weapons if further processed.
In its latest report, the IAEA confirmed that Iran has accumulated a significant quantity of uranium enriched up to 60 percent purity, a level close to the 90 percent enrichment typically required for weapons-grade material.
However, the agency stressed that Iran does not currently possess nuclear weapons and that there is no evidence the material has been further enriched to weapons-grade level.
According to the UN nuclear watchdog, while the volume of enriched uranium is concerning, inspectors have not detected any indication that Tehran has begun efforts to manufacture a nuclear bomb.
