UN Atomic Watchdog: Iran Further Raising Nuclear Stockpile
(AP) Kiyoko Metzler - The International Atomic Energy Agency said Wednesday that Iran has an estimated 17.7 kg. of uranium enriched to up to 60% fissile purity, an increase of almost 8 kg. since August. The agency said it is not able to verify Iran's exact stockpile due to the limitations that Tehran imposed on UN inspectors. The IAEA has been unable to access surveillance footage of Iranian nuclear sites or of online enrichment monitors and electronic seals since February. In a separate report Wednesday, IAEA chief Rafael Mariano Grossi said inspectors are "being subjected to excessively invasive physical searches by security officials at nuclear facilities in Iran."
