Iran boosted its stockpile of uranium enriched close to weapons-grade levels just before Israel launched its June 13 military assault, the U.N. nuclear watchdog said in a confidential report obtained by The Associated Press on Wednesday.
The International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) reported Iran held 440.9 kilograms of uranium enriched to 60% as of June 13, up 32.3 kilograms from May. That amount is only a short step from the 90% threshold needed for weapons-grade material, with the agency noting about 42 kilograms at 60% could be enough for one bomb if further enriched.
The IAEA said it has not been able to conduct on-site inspections since the start of the Israeli attacks.
