Iran intends to "significantly increase" its production of highly enriched uranium, according to a confidential report released Friday by the UN nuclear watchdog and seen by the AFP news agency.

The International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) report noted that updates to the design of Iran's Fordow facility would "significantly increase the rate of production of uranium enriched up to 60 percent."

The new production rate is expected to exceed 34 kilograms of highly enriched uranium per month, a substantial jump from the previous rate of 4.7 kilograms.

In its report, the IAEA urged Iran to allow inspections "as a matter of urgency." These inspections, the agency emphasized, are crucial to "provide timely and technically credible assurances that the facility is not being misused to produce uranium of an enrichment level higher than that declared by Iran, and that there is no diversion of declared nuclear material."

Meanwhile, in an interview with Reuters on Friday, IAEA Director General Rafael Grossi stated that Iran is "dramatically" increasing its capacity to produce uranium enriched to up to 60% purity. This level is close to the 90% threshold considered weapons-grade.

According to IAEA assessments, Iran already possesses enough uranium enriched to 60%, its highest level so far, to produce four nuclear weapons if it were further enriched. Additionally, its lower-enrichment stockpiles could yield even more.

Obozo’s Muslims are making their move with Putin pinned down in Ukraine. This is another example of a hard nosed ruler, like Saddam falling to Jihadis in what is now going to be a Middle East that’s mostly controlled by radical Islam except for Israel.

Obama and Biden bent over backward to hand them billions of dollars in cash and set the Middle East on fire.

Was about to post a nearly identical comment.
I acknowledge that Iran with an atomic weapon is no joking matter.
But, we’ve been told that they are only”hours away” for more than a decade now.
Getting difficult to take anything seriously until it actually happens.
