UN Agency: Iran Nearly Triples Stockpile of Enriched Uranium
(AP-ABC News) Kiyoko Metzler and David Rising - Iran has nearly tripled its stockpile of enriched uranium since November in violation of its deal with world powers and is refusing to answer questions about three possible undeclared nuclear sites, the International Atomic Energy Agency, the UN atomic watchdog, said Tuesday. The agency said as of Feb. 19, Iran's total stockpile of low-enriched uranium amounted to 1,020.9 kg. (1.1 tons), compared to 372.3 kg. noted in its last report on Nov. 3, 2019. The current stockpile puts Iran within reach of the amount needed to produce a nuclear weapon. The nuclear deal allows Iran only to keep a stockpile of 202.8 kg.
