The Islamic Republic of Iran has about 12 times the quantity of low-enriched uranium as allowed under the 2015 nuclear deal, noted the United Nations atomic agency in a report, according to the Wall Street Journal. 

The International Atomic Energy Agency stated that Iran has amassed 2,443 kilograms of low-enriched uranium, much more than the 203 kilograms allowed under the nuclear deal, the Journal reported.

Iran denies that it is looking or has ever looked to make a nuclear weapon.

Media outlets have projected Joe Biden to be the winner of the U.S. presidential election, but President Trump, who previously withdrew the U.S. from the Obama-era Iran nuclear deal, has not conceded. Biden has expressed that he would want a revival of the deal, based on certain conditions that Iran would have to meet.
