Iran is set to sharply expand its uranium enrichment in an underground site after installing all the centrifuges it was built for, a report by the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) has said. The UN's nuclear watchdog also said that Iran's stockpile of its most sensitive nuclear material, which could relatively quickly be used to make atomic arms, had grown and is getting closer to an amount that could be sufficient for a bomb.
The IAEA said on Friday that the installation of equipment at Iran's Fordo uranium enrichment plant was now "complete". The agency report reiterated its regular statement that it was "unable ... to conclude that all nuclear material in Iran is in peaceful activities".
