Iran growing uranium stockpile to weapons-grade levels: UN nuclear watchdog
Iran has expanded its stockpile of uranium enriched close to weapons-grade levels, according to a confidential report from the UN nuclear watchdog. The International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) urged Tehran to immediately change direction and cooperate with its ongoing investigation. The report, accessed by The Associated Press and compiled by the Vienna-based IAEA, revealed that as of May 17, Iran had accumulated 408.6 kgs of uranium enriched up to 60 per cent. This is an increase of 133.8 kgs since the last report in February, which had recorded a total of 274.8 kgs. Uranium enriched to 60 per cent is only a short technical step away from weapons-grade material, which is enriched to 90 per cent. IAEA Director General Rafael Mariano Grossi has repeatedly pointed out that Iran is the only country without nuclear weapons that is enriching uranium to such a high level. On Saturday, Grossi again called on Iran to work with the IAEA. 'He reiterates his urgent call upon Iran to cooperate fully and effectively with the IAEA,' the report said. Tensions amid US-Iran talks The timing of the report is significant, as Iran and the United States have been engaged in several rounds of talks about a possible nuclear agreement — an effort being pursued by US President Donald Trump. On Thursday (May 29), top Iranian officials rejected speculation about a near-term agreement with Washington. They stressed that any deal must include the full removal of sanctions and allow the continuation of Iran's nuclear programme. Trump still hopeful for agreement Trump said on Friday that he believes a deal is still possible soon. 'They don't want to be blown up. They would rather make a deal,' Trump said, referring to Iran. He added, 'That would be a great thing that we could have a deal without bombs being dropped all over the Middle East.' Trump also mentioned that he had advised Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to hold off on attacking Iran's nuclear facilities while talks are ongoing.

EPFO 3.0: When Will PF Withdrawal Via UPI, ATM Begin? All You Need To Know
Last Updated: One of the most-anticipated features of the EPFO 3.0 is the ability for EPF subscribers to withdraw funds via UPI and ATM, which could revolutionise how PF is managed and accessed. In a significant step towards enhancing funds accessibility for salaried employees, the Employees' Provident Fund Organisation (EPFO) is likely to launch EPFO 3.0 in June 2025, according to a DD News report. One of the most anticipated features of this digital transformation is the facility for EPF subscribers to withdraw funds using UPI and ATMs, potentially revolutionising provident fund (PF) account management and access. What is EPFO 3.0? EPFO 3.0 represents a comprehensive digital upgrade to the current EPF system. While existing systems require members to log in through the EPFO portal and submit claims processed over several days, version 3.0 is expected to significantly reduce turnaround time and offer real-time access to funds through user-friendly platforms like ATMs and UPI apps. This marks a shift from a partially manual process to a seamless digital interface. How Will ATM and UPI Withdrawals Work? Though the precise operational details are awaited, the EPFO 3.0 upgrade is expected to integrate PF accounts with the broader financial infrastructure supporting the Unified Payments Interface (UPI) and ATM networks. This would allow subscribers to withdraw eligible EPF funds directly via UPI apps or bank ATMs, possibly using a secure PIN or Aadhaar-based verification. Withdrawal limits and conditions are likely to be implemented to ensure fund safety and compliance. Benefits of Digital Withdrawals Experts suggest the new digital withdrawal methods promise multiple benefits. Firstly, it enhances convenience by eliminating paperwork and lengthy waiting periods. Secondly, it enables anytime, anywhere access to EPF savings, crucial in emergencies. Thirdly, it aligns with the broader vision of Digital India and financial inclusion by integrating government-backed savings schemes with the digital financial ecosystem commonly used by most Indians. Implementation Timeline and Future Outlook As per the DD News report, the launch of EPFO 3.0 is anticipated in June 2025, though an official confirmation of the date is pending. A phased rollout or pilot testing in select regions may precede nationwide implementation. This development is likely to impact over six crore EPF account holders across India. First Published:
