Iran increasing nuclear activities but not currently pursing atomic weapons, US intelligence says

US intelligence assessment states that Iran is not currently pursuing nuclear weapons, but has increased activities that could support their development since 2020.
Iran is violating the terms of the 2015 nuclear deal by increasing the size and enrichment level of its uranium stockpile and exceeding restrictions on advanced centrifuge research.
The Biden administration aims to return to the 2015 nuclear deal with Iran (JCPOA) but has faced challenges, including the suspension of its chief negotiator.
Iran is engaging in research and development activities that could bring them closer to producing the materials for a nuclear device.
These assessments are consistent with previous findings and are supported by inspections from the UN's nuclear watchdog.
