Fox News
A previous warning said Tehran has enough uranium enriched to near-weapons-grade levels to make "several" nuclear bombs if it chose to do so, and the country continues increasing stockpile.
According to the IAEA, around 92.5 pounds of uranium enriched to 60% is the amount needed to theoretically create one atomic weapon if the uranium is enriched to 90%. IAEA head Rafael Grossi has stated in the past that Iran has enough enriched uranium for "several" nuclear weapons.
The report also says that Iran’s enriched uranium supply as of May 11 was 1,3671.5 pounds, an increase of 1,489.8 pounds since the IAEA's previous report.
