Watchdog: Iran accelerating uranium enrichment to near weapons-level
The Hill-BY JOSEPH CHOI – 08/17/21 03:51 PM EDT
The U.N.’s International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) said in a new report that Iran has accelerated its uranium enrichment to near weapons-grade levels.
According to the IAEA report seen by Reuters, Iran has increased its uranium purity to 60 percent, compared with 20 percent in April. Weapons-grade purity is around 90 percent.
Iran has maintained that its goals for uranium enrichment are peaceful and that it is seeking to develop reactor fuel. Western countries have cast doubt on those claims, arguing there is no credible civilian use for such development.
