In a confidential report released Friday, the U.N.’s nuclear watchdog says Iran has rapidly expanded its production of higher-grade enriched uranium in recent months. While the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) expressed concerns about the country’s ability to easily and quickly build nuclear warfare, Iran dismissed inspectors’ concerns as unfounded. The IAEA report also said Iran failed to explain why it’s missing a large quantity of uranium metal, which diplomats say could be used in experiments to arm a nuclear warhead. After talks with leaders in Tehran, the agency added that Iran had refused to clear up questions regarding its nuclear program.
