Nuclear Countdown
IRAN’s Enriched Uranium is Just a Step Away from Nuclear Weapons. How Close are we to Disaster?
When Israeli and U.S. aircraft struck Iran’s nuclear facilities on June 13, 2025, they did so against the backdrop of a quiet but alarming development.
A confidential International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) report, now circulated among member states, reveals that just before the attacks Iran had enriched 32.3 kilograms of uranium up to 60%, bringing its total stockpile of 60%-enriched material to 440.9 kilograms.
For those less fluent in nuclear math, this figure matters.
At 60% enrichment, uranium is only a short technical step away from the 90% threshold of weapons-grade material.
According to the IAEA’s own yardstick, the stockpile present on June 13 was sufficient, if further enriched, for 10 nuclear weapons.

Iran now operates on three parallel tracks:
1. Nuclear leverage: Enrichment at a scale sufficient for multiple weapons.
2. Conventional deterrence: Expansion of missiles and drones.
3. Proxy warfare: Ongoing operations via Hezbollah, Hamas, Houthis.
The Israeli and U.S. strikes set back facilities but did not neutralize Iran’s capabilities.
The intelligence community now faces the same critical unknown:
where is the stockpile, and who controls its future enrichment?
