Iran has escalated the rate at which it is enriching uranium to up to 60 per cent purity, levels close to weapons-grade, the UN's nuclear watchdog warned today.

Iran has 'increased its production of highly enriched uranium, reversing a previous output reduction from mid-2023', the International Atomic Energy Agency said in a statement.

Iran is enriching to up to 60 per cent at its Pilot Fuel Enrichment Plant (PFEP) in its sprawling Natanz complex and at its Fordow Fuel Enrichment Plant in the north, the IAEA found.


quote:

Iran has enough uranium enriched to up to 60 per cent purity for three atom bombs by the International Atomic Energy Agency's definition. Its leaders maintain it 'does not need' nuclear weapons and is only enriching uranium for peaceful purposes.

But on December 18, the UK government warned that Iran's stockpiles 'are unprecedented for a state without a nuclear weapons programme', denouncing the 'deplorable state' of its commitments to a 2015 deal in which Tehran agreed to slash stockpiles and enrich only to 3.67 per cent.

Well find out soon enough if all those oil-wealthy Muslim Sheiks are willing to follow the Iranian Mullahs over the martyrdom cliff. We know what Israel will do, and so do the Sheiks. Ball is in the Mullah's court.

Using our tax money to make weapons with which to try to kill us.

Nuclear weaponry is 80 year old tech at this point. Somebody's going to nuke somebody else at some point, and eventually itll be us. I just wish we didn't blatantly fund non-allied nations efforts to do it.

But they said this would never happen as long as we gave them pallets of cash, unfroze assets, released sanctions, and signed a piece of paper with them.

Who'd ever thunk Iran would do such a thing! They have been so peaceful and cooperative in the past. SMH

Biden/Obama talk about peace in the ME, yet give Iran the cash and freedom to create a nuclear weapon for which we know the purpose. Seems like it's happening intentionally...

Wait a minute; didn't Iran give their word that they wouldn't do this? And didn't we send them pallets of cash to secure the deal?
Surely, there has be some misunderstanding!

I know let's give them more money!!

Seriously, I bet this wreckless admin will give them more money next month.

*I said this years ago when jugears created the nuclear deal with Iran, that is was the most wreckless policy I had seen in my lifetime. Now I am more certain a nuclear device will be used in terrorism. I am still in shock that and this admin allowed this to happen.

Our only hope again is for Israel to take the plant out again.

I don't get too concerned with the Iran paranoia as most of our politicians seem to be huge Israel cucks. That said, why would they allow this? Maybe they just love conflict.

The only problem is this isn’t 1914 and there would be nowhere to hide for anyone

I would love to think that our retaliation, for a "splinter" group hitting one of our bases injuring 3 soldiers overnight, has a detour to hit their uranium production.

Of course with this anti-American admin we wouldn't be so lucky.
