According to the latest quarterly report from the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA), Iran has significantly accelerated its nuclear capabilities. The report indicates that Iran can now produce enough weapons-grade uranium (WGU) for nearly ten nuclear weapons within a month, a notable decrease in breakout timelines compared to August. Specifically, the report suggests that Iran could generate sufficient material for one nuclear weapon in just one week, and up to ten within 30 days. Furthermore, Iranian officials have stated that their nuclear program is non-negotiable and warned that they could produce military-grade nuclear weapons in as little as 24 hours, amid rising tensions and perceived threats.
