The Economist site: Iran has enriched 400 kilograms of 60% uranium.
The Economist wrote that the Board of Governors of the International Atomic Energy Agency, the UN’s nuclear watchdog, will meet on Monday in Vienna, with Iran at the top of the agenda.
The article continues, stating that the latest report from the agency indicates that Iran has enriched more than 400 kilograms of uranium to 60% purity, an amount which, if further enriched to weapons-grade, would be sufficient to build nearly ten nuclear bombs.
This stockpile has increased by about 50% since February.
Earlier this year, Donald Trump gave Iran a two-month deadline to negotiate a new nuclear agreement, one to replace the JCPOA, which Trump withdrew from in 2018.
According to Trump, this deadline ends on June 12th. Since April, five rounds of fruitless negotiations have been held between the U.S. and Iran.
The two sides still have deep disagreements over the issue of Iran’s continued uranium enrichment under the framework of the new agreement.
