Iran's Nuclear Enrichment Surges Amidst UN and IAEA Obstacles
TL;DR
Iran has enriched enough uranium to 60% purity, close to weapons-grade, for three atomic bombs, according to confidential reports from the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA). Despite Iran's lack of cooperation on key issues, including the barring of inspectors, it is unlikely to face serious consequences at the next IAEA board meeting. The rate of enrichment has slowed, possibly due to indirect negotiations with the United States. Tensions between Iran and the IAEA have increased, with little progress made on the investigation into undeclared sites and the re-installation of monitoring equipment.
