Iran's Nuclear Program Escalates with Enrichment Advancements and Stockpile Growth
TL;DR
Iran has advanced its nuclear enrichment program, reaching uranium enrichment levels close to weapons-grade and stockpiling more than 22 times the limit set by the 2015 nuclear deal, according to confidential reports by the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA). The IAEA criticized Iran's decision to withdraw the accreditation of several inspectors, calling it "extreme and unjustified." Iran's move to bar inspectors has hindered the agency's work, and the IAEA expressed hope for a prompt resolution. Efforts to revive the nuclear deal have been unsuccessful so far.
