A: Hey there! Guess what? There's some exciting news about Iran and nuclear stuff.
B: No, I haven't heard anything yet. Spill the beans!
A: Alrighty! So, Reuters says that the United Nations' nuclear watchdog, the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA), found traces of nuclear activities at unannounced locations in Iran!
B: Whoa, that sounds serious! Any idea what it means for the ongoing talks between Iran and the U.S?
A: Yeah, it could potentially complicate things. The IAEA's report suggests that these activities took place until around 2000, but they've been investigating since 2019 and 2020.
B: That's quite a while ago! What did the Iranian government have to say about it?
A: Well, according to Reuters, they called it a report prepared for political purposes and accused it of repeating biased and baseless accusations. They also threatened countermeasures if things get heated at an upcoming IAEA Board of Governors meeting.
B: That doesn't sound good! Anything else?
A: Yeah, the IAEA also reported that Iran's stockpile of 60% enriched uranium has increased since February and is now about 1.5 times greater than before. That's way more than what they agreed to with world powers.

Reuters news agency says the United Nations nuclear watchdog found traces of nuclear activities at undeclared locations in Iran. The findings could affect ongoing nuclear talks between Iran and the United States.
Reuters reported on Saturday that the International Atomic Energy Agency compiled a comprehensive report on Iran's nuclear development. The IAEA is investigating nuclear materials found between 2019 and 2020 at multiple undeclared sites.
Reuters says the IAEA's report points out that Iran carried out nuclear-related activities at those sites until the early 2000s.
The Iranian foreign ministry and the Atomic Energy Organization said in a statement on Saturday that the report was "prepared for political purposes" and repeats "biased and baseless accusations."
The statement says Tehran will take countermeasures if there is any hostile move at an IAEA Board of Governors meeting scheduled to start on June 9.
Reuters also reported that the IAEA's separate report said Iran's stock of uranium enriched to 60 percent has increased to about 1.5-fold since February. That percentage far exceeds the limit set in an agreement Iran signed with world powers.
