Iran’s enriched uranium stockpile grows, reversing Trump-era efforts to curb its nuclear program, the IAEA reports.
The International Atomic Energy Agency has determined Iran’s nuclear weapons risk is now higher than before US and Israeli strikes in February. The attacks aimed to prevent Tehran from developing a nuclear weapon but appear to have had the opposite effect, according to a restricted report cited by Bloomberg.
The agency warned member states that Iran has amassed a significant stockpile of enriched uranium. Prior assessments indicated progress in limiting Iran’s nuclear capabilities, but recent developments suggest a reversal of those gains. No immediate market reaction was detailed in the report.
The findings underscore escalating geopolitical tensions in the Middle East, with potential implications for global energy markets and regional stability.
