Iran is expanding its uranium enrichment capacity at two underground sites in response to a recent resolution by the UN nuclear watchdog, the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA). This move follows a censure resolution passed by the IAEA Board of Governors, which was backed by the U.K., France, and Germany. Despite the expansion, diplomats have noted that the escalation is not as severe as initially feared. The U.S. State Department has expressed concern over Iran's actions, warning that Washington and its allies are prepared to increase pressure on Iran if it does not cooperate with the UN watchdog. A leaked IAEA report indicates that Iran has significantly accelerated its uranium enrichment efforts since the resolution was passed. The report describes Iran's efforts as going into 'overdrive.'
