"Iran's nuclear capacity expanded rapidly after the U.S. withdrawal from the 2015 nuclear deal, breaching enrichment caps and escalating to 60% purity, nearing weapons-grade material."
"By 2025, the growth of Iran's enriched uranium stockpile had accelerated to its fastest pace since international monitoring began, raising concerns about nuclear proliferation."
"Following military strikes in June 2025, much of Iran's enriched uranium stockpile became unaccounted for, with some material believed to be buried or stored in hardened sites."
Iran's enriched uranium stockpile increased significantly after the U.S. withdrew from the 2015 nuclear deal, reaching approximately 11 tons. Following military strikes in 2025, much of this stockpile became unaccounted for. The investigation revealed that Iran breached enrichment caps, escalating from low-level enrichment to 60% purity, nearing weapons-grade material. Efforts to revive the nuclear deal under the Biden administration failed, and by 2025, growth in the stockpile accelerated. After Operation Midnight Hammer, Iran ceased cooperation with the IAEA, complicating verification of the uranium's status.
