Iran has so far collected 210 kilograms of enriched uranium at a rate of 20%.
This was announced yesterday (Friday) by the spokesman of the Iranian Atomic Energy Agency, Roz Kamelbandi. Crossed the 120 kg enriched uranium threshold to 20%, a target required to achieve a nuclear bomb.
At the same time, the Iranian Tsenan Agency reported yesterday that Kamalbandi stated that his country already holds no less than 25 kg of 60 percent enriched uranium, a rate that only countries with military nuclear capabilities have reached. Tehran's nuclear program, the target set by parliament - 120 kilograms of uranium at a rate of 20 percent - is already far behind, and the ayatollahs' regime is looking at much higher targets. Although Iran, at least at the declaratory level, has not yet begun to enrich uranium to the 90 percent required for nuclear weapons, the rate, rate and volume of enriched uranium indicate that, as the Iranian Atomic Energy Agency noted in January, Tehran has long had the capabilities to reach that target.
The purpose of Kamalbandi's statement is to put even more pressure on the US and other powers ahead of the resumption of nuclear talks on November 29. These talks will resume with the understanding that it is no longer clear how relevant the essential clauses in the 2015 nuclear agreement Uranium to 3.67 percent, reducing uranium enrichment activity to the Natanz facility only, as well as free access by International Atomic Energy Agency inspectors to all nuclear facilities.
