BOOM: UN Watchdog Says Iran Has Tripled Production Rate Of Near Weapons-Grade Uranium
This is being reported nearly a full year after IAEA Director General Rafael Mariano Grossi admitted that Iran had already mustered “enough nuclear material for several nuclear weapons.” The Ayatollahs have indeed been “making plans” for some time now. But if they had enough nuclear material for several nuclear weapons a year ago, how much more do they have today and what are they planning to do with it? The first part of that question is still in the realm of the unknown. The second part, however, is not …

The Times of Israel – “Iran has increased the rate at which it is producing near-weapons-grade uranium in recent weeks, reversing a previous slowdown that started in the middle of this year, the International Atomic Energy Agency said Tuesday in a report to member states.
IAEA Director General Rafael Mariano Grossi said in the report that Iran ‘in recent weeks had increased its production of highly enriched uranium, reversing a previous output reduction from mid-2023,’ according to an IAEA spokesperson Sunday.
Iran had previously slowed down the rate at which it was enriching uranium to 60 percent purity. Uranium enriched at 60% purity is just a short, technical step away from weapons-grade levels of 90%.
The UN nuclear watchdog said its inspectors had verified the increased rate of production since the end of November at facilities in Natanz and Fordow to about 9 kilograms per month, up from 3 kilograms per month since June and representing a return to earlier levels of production.
In January, Grossi had warned that Tehran already had enough nuclear material for ‘several’ weapons. ‘They have amassed enough nuclear material for several nuclear weapons — not one at this point,’ he said, listing 70 kilograms of uranium enriched to 60% purity and 1,000 kilograms at 20%.” Read more.
