Iran has accelerated the rate of production of enriched uranium stocks to 60%, a threshold of close to 90% required for the construction of a nuclear weapon, according to a confidential report by the International Atomic Energy Organization (IAEA/IOEA), currently citing the French Agency and the Rwwed Agency.

The total quantity was 408.6 kg on May 17, increasing 133.8 kg compared to the previous three months (compared to a 92kg increase in the previous period).

“This significant increase in the production and accumulation of high -rich uranium enrichment by Iran, the only country that does not hold nuclear weapons that produces such nuclear material raises strong concern,” the UN agency writes in its report.

The IAEA is talking about “less than satisfactory” cooperation on Iran’s part, according to a second thorough survey prepared by the UN service at the request of the Western this time in their latest critical resolution in November.

“Iran, repeatedly, either did not respond or did not provide answers technically reliable to the questions of the service and cleaned the sites,” something that prevented the service verification activities “in three undeclared sites, the Lavizan-Sian, Varamin and Tourkouza.

The Western countries, led by the US, and Israel, an sworn enemy of Iran and the only nuclear power in the Middle East during expert estimates, suspect that Tehran wants to acquire a nuclear weapon.

Tehran defends these military ambitions, but underlines its right to nuclear for non -military purposes, mainly for the energy sector, as provided by the Nuclear Weapons Non -Spread Treaty (TNP) signed by Iran.

Tehran and Washington, who interrupted their diplomatic relations four decades ago, had a fifth round of talks on May 23 with the mediation of Oman’s Sultanate.

Iranian negotiator Abbas Arakzi and US interlocutor Steve Whitkov left without remarkable progress but are ready for new discussions.

No new date has been set at present.
