According to the IAEA, Iran maintains a stockpile of 440.9 kilograms (972 pounds) of uranium enriched up to 60% purity — a short, technical step away from weapons-grade levels of 90%.
That stockpile could allow Iran to build as many as 10 nuclear bombs, should it decide to weaponize its program, IAEA director general Rafael Grossi warned in a recent interview with the AP..
Such highly enriched nuclear material should normally be verified every month, according to the IAEA’s guidelines.

@Waveney But Wavey knows that they are NOT, correct? Tell us again why they build their nuclear
sites under ground and don't allow inspections. Why do you believe Iran?
IAEA observes activity around nuclear sites
In the absence of direct access to the nuclear sites, the IAEA turned to commercially available satellite imagery.
Observation of the Isfahan facility, some 350 kilometers (215 miles) southeast of Tehran, showed “regular vehicular activity” around the entrance to a tunnel complex used to store enriched material, the report said.
Isfahan was struck by both Israel and the United States in June.
The IAEA said it also observed activity at the enrichment sites in Natanz and Fordow, but added that “without access to these facilities it is not possible for the Agency to confirm the nature and the purpose of the activities.”

@DogMan Because they know that regardless of what they're enriching uranium for, they will not be believed. And they are not allowing IAEA access because they are currently at war with the US and Israel. And I'm pretty sure they will not allow them access again.
This is entirely Trump's fault. He pulled the US out of the agreement Obama had signed with Iran for the very simple reason that he was jealous of Obama. What is happening now is on him. All American blood, and the blood of the thousands of innocents that will lose their lives in the coming weeks and months, is on him.

@Waveney The agency indicated in its report that Iran did not fully answer all of the IAEA's questions but provided enough information to address the inquiry. Following the report, the IAEA’s Board of Governors passed a resolution in December 2015 closing the military dimensions investigation. Closure of the investigation was required to implement Obamas JCPOA.
Gee that is strange, don't you think?
