The International Atomic Energy Agency reports that Iran has never been closer to bomb-grade levels since the 2015 nuclear deal.

The officials have warned that it might be months before it has a second nuclear weapon. Iranian fuel was shipped out in 2015 after Obama reached a nuclear deal. Following the withdrawal of the United States from the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty in 2019, Iran has gradually restocked its nuclear fuel supply.
Biden has said that he is willing to re-enter the deal, but so far, indirect talks have not concluded. During this period, Iran’s president was elected Ebrahim Raisi, a close protégé of Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei. Despite Tehran’s tougher stance since his victory, Raisi has said he wants Iran to reclaim the benefits of the accord.
