Iran Speeds Up Uranium Enrichment to Near Weapons-Grade
(Reuters) Francois Murphy - Iran has reversed a slowdown begun in June in the rate at which it is enriching uranium to up to 60% purity, close to weapons grade, the International Atomic Energy Agency said Tuesday. "The Agency confirms that, since the end of November 2023, the rate at which Iran has been producing uranium enriched up to 60% U-235 at these two facilities [Natanz and Fordow] combined has increased to approximately 9 kg. per month" from a rate of 3 kg. a month. Iran already has enough uranium enriched to up to 60%, if enriched further, to make three nuclear bombs.
