When the United States withdrew from the 2015 nuclear accord, it did not freeze a problem — it released one. In the eight years since, Iran's enriched uranium stockpile has grown elevenfold, a quiet arithmetic of consequence that now confronts the very administration whose earlier decision helped write it. The UN's atomic watchdog documents not only the scale of accumulation but active diplomatic conversations about moving that material beyond Iran's borders, suggesting that what was once a constrained program has become a mobile and negotiable asset.
