Iran has conducted implosion tests considered vital for nuclear weapon development, according to the International Atomic Energy Agency report. The IAEA reported that Iran’s near-weapons-grade uranium stockpile increased from 133.8 kilograms (294.98 pounds) in February to 408.6 kilograms (900.8 pounds) in May.
The IAEA found that the implosion tests were conducted at the Lavisan-Shian site and stated that these experiments have no civilian applications.
Israeli journalist Yonah Jeremy Bob noted that Iran’s ability to produce a crude nuclear weapon has significantly improved and could happen much faster than previously assessed.
