This is a short technical step from weapons-grade 90%. The claim of 83.7% enrichment at Fordow in February 2023 is not mentioned in any of the provided sources. The sources focus on 60% enrichment levels and do not specify Fordow as the site of such enrichment. The discrepancy suggests the claim is inaccurate or based on unverified information.","location":"Fordow, Iran","actors":["International Atomic Energy Agency","Iran"],"verdict":"DISPUTED","verdictNote":"The claim that IAEA inspectors found uranium particles enriched to 83.7% at Fordow in February 2023 is not supported by the provided sources. The sources report IAEA findings of uranium enriched up to 60% at Iran's enrichment facilities, with no mention of 83.7% or Fordow specifically. The claim appears to be a distortion or misremembering of actual events, possibly conflating the 60% enrichment level with a higher percentage. Therefore, the claim is disputed due to lack of corroborating evidence in the available sources.","sources":[{"url":"https://www.durangoherald.com/articles/associated-press/iran-accelerates-production-of-near-weapons-grade-uranium-iaea-says-as-tensions-with-us-ratchet/","title":"Iran accelerates production of near weapons-grade uranium, IAEA says, as tensions with US ratchet up","publisher":"The Durango Herald","retrievedAt":"2026-09-02"},{"url":"https://www.durangoherald.com/articles/associated-press/iran-has-amassed-even-more-near-weapons-grade-uranium-un-watchdog-says/","title":"Iran has amassed even more near weapons-grade uranium, UN watchdog says","publisher":"The Durango Herald","retrievedAt":"2026-09-02"},{"url":"https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2026-09-01/iran-nuclear-status-unknown-with-us-war-unresolved-iaea-says","title":"Iran Nuclear Status Unknown With US War Unresolved, IAEA Says","publisher":"Bloomberg","retrievedAt":"2026-09-02"}],"tags":["iran","nuclear","iaea","uranium-enrichment","fordow"],"views":6,"updatedAt":"2026-09-04T23:09:21.415Z","media":[],"relatedFactIds":[],"url":"/fact/fact_l8mbnslggv"}}
