Iran is the only country that has enriched uranium to a high percentage of purity without developing nuclear weapons.
Iran has a sufficient supply of enriched uranium up to 60% purity to create three nuclear bombs. Reuters reported this yesterday in connection with an IAEA report.
In two months, Iranian uranium reserves have increased by 6.7 kg and, according to experts, now reach 128.3 kg. This is more than three times the weight of the uranium mass (about 42 kg), which, according to the IAEA, is theoretically enough to create a nuclear bomb in the event of further enrichment.
“That’s quite a lot of money, especially if you don’t use it for anything else,” a diplomatic source told reporters on condition of anonymity.
Iran is said to be the only country to have enriched uranium to a high percentage of purity without developing nuclear weapons. The weapons-grade purity of the enriched uranium used to create nuclear weapons is approximately 90%. But 60% uranium purity is a relatively high figure.
But Iran’s uranium enrichment rate has slowed by about three times since the start of the year, which diplomats say is an apparent result of indirect negotiations with the United States that are likely to lead to a prisoner exchange in between the two countries in September.
The number of operating cascades or clusters of centrifuges for uranium enrichment remained unchanged, the report said. However, tensions between the IAEA and Iran have only increased.
Earlier, the media reported that Iran’s nuclear program was military-oriented. Information from the intelligence services of the Netherlands, Sweden, Germany and Denmark indicates that Tehran has plans to create nuclear weapons.
Israel is prepared to prevent Iran from obtaining nuclear weapons by any means necessary
