A report by the United Nations’ nuclear watchdog says Iran has accelerated its production of near weapons-grade uranium as tensions between Tehran and Washington rise.

Iran has escalated its uranium enrichment to near weapons-grade levels, raising alarm within the international community, according to a new report by the International Atomic Energy Agency. The report reveals that Iran’s stockpile of 60% enriched uranium has increased significantly

Iran's stock of uranium close to weapons grade has jumped since December, two reports by the U.N. nuclear watchdog said on Wednesday.

Iran's stock of uranium enriched to up to 60% purity, close to the roughly 90% of weapons grade, has jumped since Iran announced a dramatic acceleration in enrichment in December, a quarterly U.N. nuclear watchdog report showed on Wednesday.

A report by the United Nations’ nuclear watchdog says Iran has accelerated its production of near weapons-grade uranium as tensions between Tehran and Washington rise after the election of U.S. Presid

Iran’s stock of uranium enriched to near weapons grade has grown sharply since it announced a dramatic acceleration in December and there has been no progress on resolving outstanding issues, two reports by the U.

According to the International Atomic Energy Agency, Iran is the only non-nuclear weapon state to enrich uranium to 60%, which is higher than what's necessary to produce nuclear power.

The report says that as of Feb. 8, Iran has 605.8 pounds of uranium enriched up to 60%, up by more than 200 pounds since the IAEA's last report in November.

Iran has accelerated its production of near weapons-grade uranium as tensions between Tehran and Washington rise after the election of U.S. President Donald Trump, a report by the United Nations’ nuclear watchdog seen by The Associated Press on Wednesday showed.

IAEA reports say Iran has accelerated its production of enriched uranium amid a renewed campaign of maximum pressure by the Trump administration.

The president’s halt of foreign aid upended two U.S. programs that help the International Atomic Energy Agency find clues about Iran’s drive to build atomic bombs.

A report by the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) cautioned that the Islamic Republic of Iran is producing a large amount of uranium that could be used in six atomic bombs.
