00:00 2023 has been a very happening year for Iran. First, the country was able to restore relations

00:06 with Saudi Arabia, a rival power. Next, Tehran restored relations with Syria. In recent days,

00:12 Tehran has been threatening Israel with escalation warnings. And now, the UN has released another

00:17 report that shows Iran is most likely far more advanced than it appears to be in terms

00:22 of nuclear power. According to confidential reports from the International Atomic Energy

00:26 Agency (IAEA), Iran has amassed sufficient uranium enriched up to 60% purity, approaching

00:33 the level required for weapon-grade material. Despite this, Iran continues to deceive the

00:39 US on crucial matters, as revealed on Wednesday. Iran's consistent advancement of its enriching

00:44 uranium to exceptionally high levels, coupled with its reluctance to comply with the IAEA's

00:50 request on expanding range of concerns, poses a significant challenge. This ongoing defiance

00:56 challenges both the agency and Western powers, who have constantly urged Iran to change its

01:00 trajectory. According to reports, Iran's stockpile of uranium reached to as much as 60% increase

01:07 by 6.7 kg (14.8 lbs) to a massive 128.3 (282.9 lbs) since the last report came out on September

01:17 4, 2023. This is more than three times than the 42 kg limit that the IAEA has defined

01:23 as potentially sufficient for a nuclear bomb. Iran possesses sufficient enriched uranium

01:28 at lower levels already, despite its denial of pursuing nuclear weapons. However, Iran's

01:34 rapid rise in uranium enrichment is sparking concerns and drawing attention. Western powers

01:39 have consistently alleged Iran's ambition to acquire a nuclear weapon. Previously, the

01:44 United States and its allies were staunchly opposed to Iran's nuclear program. Surprisingly,

01:49 in 2014, they advocated for Iran's nuclear capabilities by signing the JCPOA deal. However,

01:55 the agreement was subsequently terminated, resulting in two sanctions against Iran. Now,

02:01 Iran has resumed its pursuit for nuclear weapons, causing apprehension within the United Nations.

02:05 Moreover, this resurgence in nuclear ambitions occurs amidst escalating tensions and verbal

02:10 clashes with Israel, intensifying global apprehensions.
