Iran Now Has Enough Uranium For Nuclear Weapon, U.N. Watchdog Reportedly Says

Contributing sentiments towards policy:

39% : In 2015, Iran struck a deal with the United States, China, Russia and three other powers to limit its nuclear development -- including uranium enrichment levels -- in exchange for relief from sanctions.
36% : A separate IAEA report Monday said Iranian officials have not given "technically credible" answers to long-standing questions about why old nuclear material was discovered at several sites in Iran, according to multiple reports.
36% : However, the Trump Administration withdrew the United States from the deal in 2018 and ratcheted up sanctions against Iran, part of a "maximum pressure" campaign.
35% : Iran has amassed enough enriched uranium to make a nuclear weapon, according to a report by the International Atomic Energy Agency viewed by several media outlets Monday, as the IAEA presses Iran to cooperate with a probe into its nuclear program and the United States seeks to re-enter a 2015 nuclear deal with Iran.
27% : President Joe Biden has sought to reenter the nuclear agreement, but indirect talks between the two countries have been inconclusive and challenging, with Iran asking for relief from some Trump-era measures against the country and assurances the U.S. won't pull out of the deal again.
17% : Meanwhile, Iran started enriching uranium to 60% last year, according to the IAEA and Iranian officials, following an apparent attack on an Iranian nuclear facility that Iran blamed on Israel.
