Iran's nuclear program continues to be a thorn in the International "side" because of further uranium-235 enrichment. The IAEA reported that Iranian officials didn't allow them to visit a potentially very important military installation in Parchin. It is said that Iran has the capability to enrich uranium up to 20% now, 3-5% is needed for nuclear power plant use, and they are saying it is for use on citizens with cancer who are seeking treatment. Analysts say that 20% is a big number because once the capability of enriching to 20% is shown, typically the path to enriching to 90%, enrichment level needed for nuclear weapons, is much easier. Iranian officials claimed that the IAEA inspectors left a day early and did not block them from visiting Parchin.
