Now, however, final public IAEA calculations show that Iran has reserves of about 3,800 kilograms (8,370 lb) of enriched uranium. More worrying for non-profile experts, Iran now enriches uranium to 60 percent purity – a level never reached before, a small, technical step up from 90 percent.
Those experts have warned that Iran has enough 60 percent enriched uranium to reprocess it into fuel for at least one nuclear bomb.
While Iran has long kept its program peaceful, officials now openly discuss Tehran’s ability to seek a nuclear bomb if it so desires.
Meanwhile, a series of attacks in the wider Middle East since the deal’s collapse have heightened tensions of widespread conflict.
