Iran has continued to amass uranium enriched to near weapons-grade levels, according to an International Atomic Energy Agency report obtained by the Associated Press.
The report by the United Nations nuclear watchdog shows Tehran has 121.6 kilograms (268 pounds) of uranium enriched to 60%. In May, the IAEA placed the Islamic Republic’s stockpile of 60% enriched uranium at just over 114 kilograms (250 pounds) and in February at 87.5 kilograms (192 pounds).AP reported that Iran was still attempting to stonewall IAEA officials by denying them visas, while the “de-designation of experienced agency inspectors” was also challenging the body’s monitoring work.
Moreover, the IAEA has since February 2021 reportedly been unable to access surveillance footage from declared nuclear sites, with the only recorded data as of June last year originating from cameras at a workshop in the Iranian city of Isfahan.
Agence France Presse reported that the IAEA expressed regret over making “no progress” with Iran to clarify these outstanding issues.
Agency director general Rafael Grossi therefore “requests Iran to work with the agency in earnest and in a sustained way towards the fulfillment of the commitments,” according to AFP.
