is "dramatically" increasing the amount of uranium enriched to up to 60% purity, close to the roughly 90% of weapons grade, that it is able to produce, the ineffective International Atomic Energy Agency chief Rafael Grossi told Rooters in an interview.
The move is certain to cause even greater alarm in Western capitals already arguing that there is no civilian justification for Iran's enrichment to that level as no other country has done so without producing nuclear bombs, which Iran denies pursuing.
Iran already has enough material enriched to up to 60%, its most highly enriched stock, for four nuclear weapons in principle if it enriched it further, according to an IAEA yardstick. It has enough for more at lower enrichment levels.
"Today the agency is announcing that the production capacity is increasing dramatically of the 60% inventory," the watchdog's chief Grossi said on the sidelines of the Manama Dialogue security conference in Bahrain's capital.
He added that it was set to rise to "seven, eight times more, maybe, or even more" than the previous rate of 5-7 kg a month.
