Iran has reportedly reached unprecedented levels of enriched uranium, which could enable the country to produce fissile material for multiple nuclear weapons, according to German Ambassador to the United Nations Antje Leendertse. The International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) has also warned that Iran is on the cusp of becoming a nuclear-armed state. Reports indicate that Iran could potentially manufacture up to four nuclear bombs. This development has raised alarms among Western nations, including France, Germany, and the United Kingdom, who have expressed concerns over Iran's expanding stockpile of highly enriched uranium. The Biden administration has not commented on the situation, which is under scrutiny from the U.S. and its allies despite Tehran's denials.
