Iran's 60% Uranium: What We Know and Don't

Описание: The IAEA last counted 440.9 kilograms of Iran's 60 percent enriched uranium. It now says it cannot provide information on the current size or location of the stockpile. Here is what is known, what is estimated, and what Iran says.

In this short explainer: the IAEA's last count, its statement that it has no access to Iran's four declared enrichment sites, IAEA chief Rafael Grossi's March estimate that just over 200 kilograms remain at Isfahan, Iran's foreign minister saying the uranium is under the rubble, and the IAEA yardstick of about 42 kilograms for one weapon if further enriched. Iran says its program is peaceful, and on October 8 an official ruled out handing over the stockpile. All figures after the last IAEA count are estimates.
