The Biden Administration is pressuring France and Britain against voting to censure Iran next month at the board meeting of the United Nations’ International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA).
The move comes despite the fact that Iran has significantly expanded its stockpile of near-weapons grade fissile material, according to a confidential May 27 report by the IAEA seen by a handful of journalists.
The IAEA reported on Monday that as of May 11, 2024, Iran’s stockpile of 60 percent highly enriched uranium rose 20.6 kilograms to 142.1 kilograms since its report in February — its highest level to date, as the Wall Street Journal reported.
According to the IAEA, Iran’s overall stockpile of enriched uranium at the current moment stands at 6,201.3 kilograms (13,671.5 pounds), which represents an increase of 675.8 kilograms (1,489.8 pounds) since February.
US officials warn that Iran’s stockpile of highly enriched uranium could be converted to weapons-grade uranium — enriched to 90 percent purity — in a matter of days. They warn that Iran currently possesses enough highly enriched uranium to fuel three nuclear weapons, once converted.
According to the report, White House officials have told their European counterparts that the US will abstain in the vote, set for early Jun, and have urged them to do the same.
