Natanz, its main enrichment facility".

2021
Until 2021, Iran consistently asserted that its nuclear program was solely for peaceful purposes, reinforced by a
fatwa issued by
Ayatollah Khamenei against the development of nuclear weapons. But in an interview in November 2021, on the anniversary of the assassination of
Mohsen Fakhrizadeh, former head of the
Atomic Energy Organization of Iran Fereydoun Abbasi-Davani mentioned the country's growth "involving satellites, missiles, and nuclear weapons" and said that although Iran's stance on nuclear weapons being
haram was quite clear, Fakhrizadeh had "created this system."

October 2023 report
As of 2023, the IAEA stated in an October quarterly report that Iran is estimated to have further increased its uranium stockpile twenty-two times over the 2015 agreed JCPOA limit. The IAEA also noted that Iran has continued to push back against inspections of its nuclear program and several inspectors had been barred by Iran, a move that received condemnation by the agency.
