Iran stored highly enriched uranium at underground site: IAEA

Vienna: Some of Iran's most highly enriched uranium, close ⁠to weapons grade, ⁠was stored in ‌an underground area ​of its nuclear site in Isfahan, the UN nuclear watchdog ​said ⁠in a confidential report sent to member states on Friday ⁠and ‌seen by Reuters.

It is the ‌first time the ⁠International Atomic Energy Agency has reported where ‌uranium enriched ‌to up to ‌60 per cent purity, ‌close to the 90 per cent of weapons grade, has been ⁠stored. ⁠

The tunnel complex's entrance was hit in US and Israeli military strikes in June but the ​facility seems largely ​unharmed, diplomats ​say.
