‘No credible civilian justification’ for Iran’s surge in uranium enrichment, Western diplomatic source says
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GooglePARIS, France — Iran’s increase in the amount of uranium enriched to up to 60 percent purity is “extremely serious,” unjustified for civilian purposes, and contradicts Tehran’s statements regarding credible nuclear negotiations, a Western diplomatic source says.
“These measures have no credible civilian justification and could, on the contrary, directly fuel a military nuclear program if Iran were to take the decision,” the Western diplomatic source tells Reuters.
“They are in contradiction with Iran’s declarations on its willingness to return to credible negotiations.”
Iran has long denied seeking nuclear weapons.
