Iranian President Hassan Rouhani today (Wednesday) referred to his country's decision to enrich uranium to 60 percent, a level that allows certain military uses to be made of the material, and said it was in response to an attack on the uranium enrichment facility at Natanz.
Rouhani's remarks, made during a cabinet meeting, were quoted by the Iranian news agency Tassanim.
"As you can see today, we have decided to use ir-6 hubs to enrich uranium to 60 percent. This is a response to the criminal acts of our enemy, evidence that they can not plot against Iran and carry out attacks in its direction without response."
Yesterday, Dr. and Col. (Res.) Uri Nissim Levy, an international expert on nuclear defense, said in the context of the Iranian statement that: "The declaration is a statement without contemporary capability. .
This follows the statement of a senior official in the Islamic Republic that it has started enriching uranium at a level of 60 percent.
In a conversation with Israel Today, Dr. Levy stated that "Iran's main enrichment facility is in Natanz.
Here they have suffered a very severe injury at a point which takes a long time to repair.
Whoever hit them knew what he was doing and also where to hit, so the reactor would be hit dramatically.
Now the bulk of the transition in the nucleus is between the civilian and military nuclei from 3.67% to 20%.
It requires a lot of knowledge and other abilities and it is also more time and little material.
It's easier to enrich from 20% to 60% or 90%. "
