Rafael Grossi, head of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA), assesses that Iran has yet to amass a "significant quantity" of enriched uranium, which he defined as "the minimum amount of enriched uranium or plutonium needed to make an atomic bomb." However, he noted that Iran continues to accumulate enriched uranium "to a much higher degree than they have committed themselves to" under the 2015 nuclear agreement.
