Despite international resolutions, Iran is advancing its uranium enrichment efforts and has not shown improved cooperation with the U.N. nuclear watchdog. The latest reports from the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) indicate that Iran's stockpile of enriched uranium continues to grow, and advanced centrifuges are being installed at key sites.

The reports highlight a worrying trend, with Iran now having enough enriched uranium for multiple nuclear bombs if further refined. This development comes in the wake of the election of Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian and the upcoming U.S. presidential election, stalling nuclear diplomacy.

IAEA's Director General Rafael Grossi hopes to establish a constructive dialogue with Iran to address these issues. However, the past quarter has seen no progress on crucial matters, including the barring of IAEA inspectors and unexplained uranium traces at undeclared sites.
