Evidence (2024-07-11): The deadline has not passed in Wisconsin to replace Biden on the ballot. Here’s why. [...] The conservative Heritage Foundation indicated they were eyeing legal challenges in states with deadlines they believed posed obstacles to replacing Biden. Wisconsin, Georgia and Nevada were included. Other posts, including one from July 8, 2024, show social media users believe "Democrats missed the deadline to remove Biden off the ballot in certain states like Wisconsin, Georgia or Nevada."

Evidence (2024-07-01): Republicans are preparing to challenge attempts by the Democratic Party to replace Biden’s name with another candidate on November ballots in the name of election integrity. [...] The Heritage Foundation has identified Georgia, Wisconsin, and Nevada as states where Democrats could face legal challenges if they pursue replacing Biden. In Wisconsin, a candidate’s name can only be removed if he or she dies, and in Nevada, the deadline for replacing candidates from the ballot, which was June 28, has already passed. However, there is an exception if a candidate is deemed mentally incapacitated, possibly prompting months of legal battles.

Evidence (2024-08-29): VIENNA (AP) — Iran has further increased its stockpile of uranium enriched to near weapons-grade levels in defiance of international demands, a confidential report by the United Nations’ nuclear watchdog said Thursday. The report by the International Atomic Energy Agency, seen by The Associated Press, said that as of August 17, Iran has 164.7 kilograms (363.1 pounds) of uranium enriched up to 60 percent. That’s an increase of 22.6 kilograms (49.8 pounds) since the IAEA’s last report in May. [...] The IAEA report said that as of August 17, Iran’s overall stockpile of enriched uranium stood at 5,751.8 kilograms (12,681 pounds).

Evidence (2023-03-01): The IAEA report only speaks about "particles," suggesting that Iran isn’t building a stockpile of uranium enriched above 60% — the level it has been enriching at for some time. [...] Iran’s 2015 nuclear deal limited Tehran’s uranium stockpile to 300 kilograms (661 pounds) and enrichment to 3.67% — enough to fuel a nuclear power plant. The U.S.’ unilateral withdraw from the accord in 2018 set in motion a series of attacks and escalations by Tehran over its program. Iran has been producing uranium enriched to 60% purity — a level for which nonproliferation experts already say Tehran has no civilian use. The IAEA report put Iran’s uranium stockpile as of Feb. 12 at some 3,760 kilogram (8,289 pounds) — an increase of 87.1 kilograms (192 pounds) since its last quarterly report in November. Of that, 87.5 kilograms (192 pounds) is enriched up to 60% purity.

Evidence (2020-09-05): Iran continues to increase its stockpile of enriched uranium in violation of limitations set in a landmark deal with world powers, but has begun providing access to sites where it was suspected of having stored or used undeclared nuclear material and possibly conducted nuclear-related activities, the UN's atomic watchdog agency said Friday. The International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) said Iran's enriched uranium stockpile had reached 2,105kg (4,640lb) - well above the 300kg agreed in 2015. [...] Before agreeing to the nuclear deal, however, Iran enriched its uranium up to 20 per cent purity, which is just a short technical step away from the weapons-grade level of 90 per cent. In 2013, Iran's stockpile of enriched uranium was already more than 7,000 kilograms (7.72 tonnes) with higher enrichment, but it didn't pursue a bomb.

Evidence (2024-05-03): ISIS calculates from the IAEA report that in November 2015, Iran had a total inventory of low-enriched uranium comprising 8.3 tonnes of 3.5% uranium hexafluoride (5.57 tU) and 4.3 tonnes mostly as oxide (2.9 tU) at the Isfahan EUPP. This stock had increased by 460 kg since August. In addition, there was the 228 kg of near 20% enriched uranium in various forms. In December 2015, Iran shipped more than 11 tonnes of various low-enriched uranium materials to Russia, in accordance with the JCPOA. The shipment included all of Iran's nuclear material enriched to near 20% that was not already in the form of fabricated fuel plates for the Tehran Research Reactor.* The IAEA now must verify that Iran's enriched uranium stockpile is 300 kg or less at under 3.67% U-235. In exchange for the enriched uranium, Iran received an equivalent amount of natural uranium, 137 tonnes, most originating in Kazakhstan. * In May 2015 Iran had 228 kg U as 19.75% enriched uranium, 61.5 kg as oxide powder, 44.9 kg as TRR fuel, and 121.2 kg as scrap, waste, or in-process, and none as hexafluoride. The total of 228 kg U was the same in November, and 51.5 kg of this was in TRR fuel assemblies, plus a couple of kg in target irradiation plates. The remaining 175 kg would need to be exported under the JCPOA. This is half of what had been produced before some was downblended.

Evidence (2018-05-15): Beyond the Summits, the Obama Administration’s other major achievement on the counterproliferation front was to cut off pathways to a bomb for one of the world’s leading state sponsors of terror. During its march over the previous decade to the point at which it was approaching a "break-out capability," Iran had crossed a dozen red lines. Thanks to an imaginative and determined negotiating strategy led by the United States, in 2015 the Permanent Five members of the Security Council and Germany concluded with Iran the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA). The JCPOA verifiably interrupted all of Iran’s major pathways to a weapon by preventing Iran from reprocessing plutonium or enriching uranium beyond 3.75 percent (weapons-grade uranium is enriched to 90 percent). Furthermore, by eliminating two-thirds of Iran’s current centrifuges and 98 percent of its enriched-uranium stockpile, the agreement pushed Iran back at least a year from a bomb.22 Though critics still complain that the JCPOA allows too much space for Iran to "cheat," the deal imposes the most intrusive verification and inspection regime ever negotiated. This inspection regime substantially reduces the likelihood that Iran either acquires nuclear weapons itself or sells nuclear material to terrorist groups.

Evidence (2021-04-14): During the campaign, Biden was highly critical of Trump’s approach to Iran, calling it a "dangerous failure" because since Washington pulled out of the JCPOA, Tehran has now "stockpiled 10 times as much enriched uranium as it had when President Barack Obama and I left office." He also said he was not naive about "the challenges the regime in Iran poses to America’s security" but added that there was a smarter way to deal with Iran.

Evidence (2023-12-22): Sec. 1624 requires the Office of the Director of National Intelligence (ODNI) to notify Congress within 48 hours after assessing that Iran has any amount of uranium-235 enriched to greater than 60% purity or has engaged in significant enrichment activity. For the purposes of this notification requirement, significant enrichment activity is enrichment of uranium-235 (1) to a purity percentage 5% or higher than indicated in any prior notification to Congress, or (2) in a quantity exceeding 10 kilograms.
Claim: “Iran has stockpiled 10 times as much enriched uranium as it had” in 2016. (Joe Biden, 2020-09-13)
Evidence (2010-07-14): By the fall of 2009, Iran had been the subject of four sets of UN sanctions aimed at compelling the country to comply with IAEA demands to disclose the full extent of its nuclear program and to stop its uranium enrichment activities. In September 2009, Iran informed the IAEA that it was constructing a second fuel enrichment plant near the city of Qom, but refused to answer all of the Agency's questions about the new plant.[3] At that time, Iran had an estimated stockpile of 1,500 kilograms of low enriched uranium (LEU), enriched to between 3.5 and 5 percent. When Iran announced that it would begin enriching uranium to 19.75 percent because it was running out of fuel for use in its Tehran Research Reactor that produces medical isotopes, the United States, France, Russia, and the IAEA (the "Vienna Group") proposed a fuel swap as a confidence-building measure pending renewed talks with Iran.[4] This proposal called for Iran to ship roughly three-quarters of its then LEU stockpile to Russia and France to be further enriched to nearly 20 percent and then returned to Iran as fuel for its Tehran Reactor.[5] Iran initially expressed interest in the proposal, but then withdrew its support,[6] continued its enrichment activities, and spurned further negotiations with the five permanent members of the UN Security Council plus Germany (P5+1).
