Inspectors from the United Nations nuclear watchdog found uranium particles enriched up to 83.7% in Iran\u2019s underground Fordo nuclear site, a report seen Tuesday by The Associated Press said.<\/p>\n
The confidential quarterly report by the Vienna-based International Atomic Energy Agency distributed to member states likely will raise tensions further between Iran and the West over its nuclear program. That\u2019s even as Tehran already faces internal unrest after months of protests and Western anger over sending bomb-carrying drones to Russia for its war on Ukraine.<\/p>\n
The IAEA report only speaks about \u201cparticles,\u201d suggesting that Iran isn\u2019t building a stockpile of uranium enriched above 60% \u2014 the level it has been enriching at for some time.<\/p>\n
The IAEA report described inspectors discovering on Jan. 21 that two cascades of IR-6 centrifuges at Iran\u2019s Fordo facility had been configured in a way \u201csubstantially different\u201d to what had been previously declared. The IAEA took samples the following day, which showed particles up to 83.7% purity, the report said.<\/p>\n
