IAEA: Iran increases its stockpile of uranium enriched to 60%

Iran has increased its reserves of uranium enriched to 60% by 20.6 kg to 142.1 kg, according to the report of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA), Report informs via Reuters.

It was reported that Iran's stock of uranium enriched to up to 60% purity, close to the roughly 90% of weapons-grade, grew by 20.6 kg over the quarter to 142.1 kg as of May 11, and Iran later diluted 5.9 kg to a lower enrichment level.

That means Iran now has roughly enough material enriched to up to 60% purity, if enriched further, for three nuclear weapons in theory, according to an IAEA yardstick. It has enough for more at lower enrichment levels.
