Iran’s uranium nears weapons grade: agency
Bloomberg
Iran said it had enriched uranium close to levels needed to make a weapon.
The move would add to obstacles facing foreign diplomats as they try to revive a 2015 nuclear pact that curbed the Islamic Republic’s nuclear program in exchange for sanctions relief.
The first 60 percent-enriched uranium was obtained on Friday, the semi-official Iranian Students News Agency reported, citing Iranian Parliament Speaker Mohammad Baqer Qalibaf.
The move is Iran’s response to an attack on Sunday last week on its biggest uranium enrichment facility in Natanz that it blamed on Israel, the latest in a series of claims by the regional foes that has been roiling the Persian Gulf region.
