Iran’s stock of uranium enriched to up to 60% purity, close to weapons grade, increased slightly before Israel attacked its nuclear facilities on June 13, a confidential report by the UN nuclear watchdog seen by Reuters says.
On June 13, Iran’s stock of uranium enriched to up to 60% in uranium hexafluoride form, which can be enriched in centrifuges, is estimated to have been 440.9 kg, the International Atomic Energy Agency report says. That is enough, if enriched further, for 10 nuclear bombs, according to an IAEA yardstick.
