The U.N.'s nuclear watchdog says Iran has nearly tripled its stockpile of enriched uranium over the last three months in violation of its deal with world powers, and is refusing to answer questions about three possible undeclared nuclear sites.
VIENNA -- Iran has nearly tripled its stockpile of enriched uranium over the last three months in violation of its deal with world powers and is refusing to answer questions about three possible undeclared nuclear sites, the U.N. nuclear watchdog agency said Tuesday.
The International Atomic Energy Agency made the statement in a confidential report distributed to member countries that was seen by The Associated Press. The agency said of Feb. 19, Iran's total enriched uranium stockpile amounted to 1,020.9 kilograms (1.1 tons), compared to 372.3 kilograms noted in its last report on Nov. 3, 2019.
The nuclear deal that Iran signed in 2015 with the United States, Germany, France, Britain, China and Russia allows Iran only to keep a stockpile of 202.8 kilograms.
The deal promised Iran economic incentives in return for the curbs on its nuclear program, but since President Donald Trump pulled the U.S. out of the deal unilaterally in 2018, however, Iran has been slowly violating the deal's restrictions. With the violations, Tehran has said it hopes to put pressure on the other nations involved to increase economic incentives to make up for hard-hitting sanctions imposed by Washington after the American withdrawal.

Gee, I’m shocked. /sarc
Too bad for them Hillary didn’t win in 2016. If she had, Iran could have just bought ours and saved a lot of time.
We should help them ................. set it off.................
I wouldn’t mind seeing Iran glow in the dark.
....or the day.................
Thanks to EVERY Senator but Tom Cotton that voted for the Corker bill that turned the Constitution on its head to give the Kenyanesian Usurper his Iran “deal”.
So will the Israels or the USA bomb Iran? Finally!
A few well placed bombs would stop Iran.
It is a LIE when the media refuses to tell the whole truth.
................
The headline intentionally left out the word LOW. As in low-enriched uranium — under 5% purity. That’s what they call enriched.
................
5% is nothing, medical use. Nothing to see here.
