Iran's stockpile of uranium enriched to near weapons-grade levels has significantly increased, according to a confidential IAEA report. As of May 17th, Iran possessed 408.6 kilograms of uranium enriched to 60%, a near 50% increase since February. The IAEA expressed serious concern, noting Iran is the only non-nuclear-weapon state producing such material. A separate report criticizes Iran's insufficient cooperation with the IAEA's investigation into undeclared nuclear sites. Israel condemned Iran's actions, while the U.S. continues pursuing a new nuclear deal with Iran.
