Iran has expanded its stockpile of near-weapons grade uranium by more than 50% since December, defying international pressure to rein in its nuclear program.
“The significantly increased production and accumulation of high enriched uranium by Iran, the only non-nuclear weapon state to produce such material, is of serious concern,” the head of the International Atomic Energy Agency wrote in a quarterly report sent to member states.
The IAEA said Tehran had increased its accumulation of enriched uranium sevenfold since December, Bloomberg reported.
US President Donald Trump announced a so-called maximum pressure campaign on Iran earlier this month, and is “committed to ensuring the regime never gets a nuclear weapon,” National Security Council spokesman Brian Hughes said. “He has also made clear he is open to talks with Iran.”
