Report: UN nuclear watchdog confirms Iran now enriching uranium to 4.5%
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleThe UN nuclear watchdog has said Iran is now enriching uranium to 4.5 percent purity after breaching its enrichment cap earlier this week, diplomats tell Reuters.
Tehran has previously said it would move from the 3.67% agreed under the deal to the 5% needed to operate the Bushehr nuclear reactor.
Iran’s move comes a year after US President Donald Trump unilaterally withdrew the US from the nuclear deal. Since then, America has imposed sanctions blocking Iranian crude oil from being sold on the world market.
