<p><a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/iran">Iran</a> has rapidly increased its production of near-weapons-grade uranium in recent weeks, according to the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA).</p>
<p>IAEA Director-General Rafael Grossi said in a recent report that the agency has confirmed twice in the last eight days that Iran has tripled its production of 60% enriched uranium over the last month, according to <a href="https://www.wsj.com/world/middle-east/iran-adds-to-pressure-on-u-s-with-nuclear-program-acceleration-9ce226c5?st=35cxc7w00suxzwp">The Wall Street Journal</a>.</p>
<p>The report noted that Iran is the only country in the world that is producing 60% enriched uranium that is not a declared nuclear power.</p>
<p>The news comes as tensions between the U.S. and Iran have risen significantly since the Iranian-backed terrorist group Hamas carried out an unprecedented terrorist attack against Israel on October 7. Since then Iranian-backed terrorists throughout the region have launched hundreds of attacks on U.S. forces in Iraq and Syria and against commercial shipping vessels in the Red Sea.</p>
<p>Officials believe that it would only take Iran a matter of days to be able to convert 60% enriched uranium into the form needed for a nuclear weapon.</p>
<p>Richard Goldberg, a former Trump administration official and senior adviser at the Foundation for the Defense of Democracies, called the news a &#8220;catastrophic policy failure on every level.&#8221;</p>

<p>U.S. officials believe that Iran has enough stockpiled enriched uranium to build three nuclear weapons while Israeli officials believe that they have enough for at least five.</p>
<p>Uranium found in nature only contains 0.7% uranium-235 (U-235), which is needed to create the chain reaction that causes a nuclear explosion, the remaining 99.3% is uranium-238 (U-238). Scientists use centrifuges to separate the two isotopes and the remaining U-235 is taken and then further enriched to either be used for energy production, medical purposes, or nuclear weapons.</p>
<p>To make a nuclear weapon, scientists need to enrich uranium to 90%, however, enriching uranium to just 20% represents a major threat because “enriching uranium to 20% represents about 90% of the effort needed to produce weapons grade fissile material,” the Center For Arms Control And Non-Proliferation <a href="https://armscontrolcenter.org/uranium-enrichment-for-peace-or-for-weapons/#:~:text=The%20simple%20answer%20is%20that,in%20a%20relatively%20short%20time.">notes</a>. “Once a proliferator reaches this threshold, it could be ready to weaponize in a relatively short time.”</p>
