Dubai, Mar 24 (AP) The International Atomic Energy Agency estimates Iran had 440.9 kilograms of highly enriched uranium as of June 13, 2025.
Iran has already done 99 per cent of the centrifuge work needed to enrich its stockpile of highly enriched uranium to weapons grade, and may have enough uranium for about nine bombs, Robert Goldston, a Princeton University professor and a researcher in arms control and fusion energy said.
If further enriched, Iran's uranium could yield material for roughly nine nuclear weapons according to the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) calculations, Goldston said.
He further said Iran may have the centrifuge capacity to produce enough weapons-grade uranium for one bomb about every month. The IAEA has not fully monitored Iran's centrifuge manufacturing since 2021.
“That's something we should be worried about,” he said.
Goldston added it would be “well worth it” for the United States to negotiate removing or down-blending the highly enriched uranium. (AP)
