Iran has further increased its stockpile of uranium enriched to near weapons-grade levels, defying international demands, according to a confidential report by the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) obtained by the Associated Press.
The report states Iran has 363 pounds of uranium enriched up to 60% which is an increase of about 50 pounds since May.

The IAEA said 92.5 pounds of uranium enriched to 60% is the amount at which creating an atomic weapon is theoretically possible if the material is enriched even further to 90%.

The agency’s chief has previously warned that Iran has enough uranium enriched to near weapons-grade levels to make “several” nuclear bombs.

Steven Biegalski at the Georgia Institute of Technology joined LiveNOW from FOX’s Josh Breslow to explain the details of the leaked report.
