Speaker on Iranian Parliament Announces Increasing Enrichment of Uranium to 60% Speaker on Iranian Parliament Announces Increasing Enrichment of Uranium to 60%
Mohamed Bagher Ghalibaf, Speaker on the Iranian parliament (Iranian Majles) tweeted today, Friday, that his country succeeded in increasing enrichment of uranium in nuclear plants to 60%.
Statements of the Iranian official coincided with negotiations in Vienna between Iran and the permanent members of the UN Security Council and Germany to revive the nuclear agreement signed in 2015, according to US media outlets.
The new declaration of Tehran violates the nuclear agreement which prevents Iran from enriching uranium above 3.67 % level.
US Secretary of State Anthony Blinken considered Iran’s plans to increase the enrichment of uranium as a provocative step.
The Russian Military Is Absolutely a Threat to NATO
Moscow has a large military and, although numerically smaller than its Cold War predecessor, Russian forces have worked hard to get better equipment and training.
Russian military maneuvers along the Ukrainian border have caused many to recall the 2014 invasion of Crimea, which U.S. military leaders regularly refer to as a “wake up call” regarding the kind of threat Russia continues to present to America and the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO). Several key areas of concern cited by Western observers and senior U.S. military leaders included the Russian use of drones and electronic warfare. While these threats remain very much on the radar, some of the observations of the 2014 invasion have been somewhat overshadowed by the advent of newer Russian weapons. These include the Su-57 stealth fighter, hypersonic missiles and low-yield nuclear weapons.

On the night of March 30, an Italian frigate commander, Walter Biot, was caught red-handed selling documents to Dimitry Ostrukhov, an employee at the Russian embassy in Rome. The documents, whose content has not been disclosed, are said to regard North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) telecommunications and logistics. They consist of 181 papers, of which 7 documents are “NATO Secret,” 57 are “NATO Confidential,” 9 are “riservatissimo” (Italian equivalent of “confidential” in the United States), and 65 are unclassified. Biot exfiltrated these materials from his office computer, photographing and storing them on an SD card provided to him by the Russians. Upon arrest, Biot was found with a suitcase con
