Iran announces uranium enrichment to 60%

0
Press TV reported that Iran has notified the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) of the start of uranium enrichment to 60% since April 14.

Meanwhile, TASS quoted Kazem Gharibabadi, Iran’s Permanent Representative to international organizations in Vienna (Austria) as said that the Islamic Republic is expected to start collecting uranium with a 60% enrichment level next week. According to Press TV, Iran is expected to deploy an additional 1,000 centrifugal machines at the Natanz nuclear facility, which was attacked on April 11. The moves came shortly before the parties resumed talks in Vienna aimed at salvage the nuclear deal known as the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA). Since the U.S. withdrew from the JCPOA and re-imposed sanctions on Iran, Tehran has gradually reduced its compliance with its commitments to the agreement. In recent months, Iran has increased its uranium enrichment level by 20%.
