Iran\u2019s Nuclear Enrichment Advances as It Stonewalls Un, Iaea Reports Show<\/h3>\n

VIENNA, Nov 15 (Reuters) – Iran has enough uranium enriched to up to 60% purity, close to weapons-grade, for three atom bombs by the International Atomic Energy Agency’s definition and is still stonewalling the agency on key issues, confidential IAEA reports showed on Wednesday.<\/p>\n

Iran’s steady progress in enriching to very high levels while failing to provide the International Atomic Energy Agency with the cooperation it demands on a growing list of issues presents a challenge to both the agency and Western powers that have repeatedly called on Iran to reverse course.<\/p>\n

Iran’s stock of uranium enriched to up to 60% grew by 6.7 kg (14.8 pounds) to 128.3 kg (282.9 pounds) since the\u00a0last report<\/a>\u00a0on Sept. 4, one of the two reports to member states seen by Reuters said. That is more than three times the roughly 42 kg (92.6 pounds) that by the IAEA’s definition is theoretically enough, if enriched further, for a nuclear bomb.<\/p>\n

\"iranian-tired-kulbar\"<\/p>\n

On Tuesday evening, November 14, the Iranian regime’s security forces in west Iran committed a heinous act by firing shots at a group of hardworking Kurdish freight carriers, known as kulbars, at the Baneh border region. This resulted in the tragic death of a citizen, identified as Yadegar Rahimi, and injuries to four others, two of whom are minors.<\/p>\n

As reported by a local human rights organization, on November 14 at 11:00 PM local time, Yadegar Rahimi, a young kulbar, was fatally shot by border forces while carrying heavy cargo to earn money and feed his family. Notably, this violent incident occurred without any prior warning, with the armed forces indiscriminately targeting the kulbars.<\/p>\n
