Iran has begun producing uranium enriched up to 60% in its underground Fordow nuclear facility, nuclear watchdog says, bringing the country closer to weapons-grade material
Iran has begun producing uranium enriched up to 60% in its underground Fordow nuclear facility, the International Atomic Energy Agency’s Director General Rafael Grossi said on Tuesday, bringing the country closer to weapons grade material.
” Grossi also said “Iran continues to advance its enrichment activities at the Fuel Enrichment Plant in Natanz and now plans to install a second production building, capable of housing over 100 centrifuge cascades.” Iran has continually denied it intends to assemble nuclear weapons. The move however potentially further shortens Iran’s so-called “breakout time” to create a nuclear weapon.
