A quarterly report from the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) revealed a dramatic escalation in Iran’s nuclear stockpile. As of February 8, 2025, Iran is reported to have accumulated 274.8 kilograms of uranium enriched to 60 percent—a significant increase from 182.3 kilograms in November 2024 and 164.7 kilograms in August 2024. This total stockpile of higher-enriched uranium is described as enough for six nuclear weapons, with further enrichment to weapons grade. This rapid expansion of enriched uranium has further intensified global concerns regarding Iran’s nuclear ambitions.
