With only one month left before a deadline to complete a nuclear deal with Iran, international inspectors have reported that Tehran’s stockpile of nuclear fuel increased about 20 percent over the last 18 months of negotiations, partially undercutting the Obama administration’s contention that the Iranian program had been “frozen” during that period...
The overall increase in Iran’s stockpile poses a major diplomatic and political challenge for President Obama and Secretary of State John Kerry, who flew back to the United States from Geneva on Monday for treatment of a broken leg he suffered in a bicycling accident, as they enter a 30-day push to try to complete an agreement by the end of June. In essence, the administration will have to convince Congress and America’s allies that Iran will shrink its stockpile by 96 percent in a matter of months after a deal is signed, even while it continues to produce new material and has demonstrated little success in reducing its current stockpile.
There's six nations looking over Iran's shoulder, if they all agree to the deal in the end, we should be good to go.

The most likely explanation is that Iran has low-confidence in the P5+1 negotiations and is proceeding accordingly.
And yet there are a handful here who insist it is a good deal lol.Mornin Simplexity. :2wave: Not to mention Khamenei stated there will be no inspections of any military facilities. Wont be able to talk to their nuke scientists either.

Because they aren't complying with a non existent standard?Μολὼν λαβέ;1064680060 said::rofl
This report just confirms what most people thought all along; Iran can't be trusted to comply with any agreement.
:boom

You are the one of the handful who balk at allowing the IAEA to inspect suspect Iranian military sites.Laughing at your strawman! Nobody here has said that.

No strawman. I just call a spade a spade when the handful fails to tell folks what they've said in different threads.
It is not subjective when IAEA environmental samples indicate the presence of nuclear materials and/or nuclear by-products."Suspect" is too subjective. Iran obviously won't be accepting that.

More like.....they aren't complying with the restrictions that were placed upon them. But tell the truth......you would keep trusting those that lie to your face, Right?

Which restrictions, placed by who, and when?
Wait. How does this "partially" undercut the claim that the Iranian program had been frozen. It disproves the claim that the Iranian program had been frozen.

I guess the claim is now that it was slushy.
Do you know anything at all about nuclear physics? Environmental biota, water, air, soil, and dust samples are easily obtainable.And how would they have those samples?

There are three major IAEA labs available to preform a wide variety of tests ... Radionuclide signatures on particles as minute as a human cell are detectable.
All manner of natural phenomena enter and depart 24/7.Are you suggesting that the IAEA has been to the Iranian military bases?
