Iranian state television is quoting the country’s atomic chief as saying the Islamic Republic
would need only five days to ramp up its uranium enrichment to 20 percent – a level at
which the material could start to be used for a nuclear weapon
(ap) — State TV’s website on Tuesday quoted Ali Akbar Salehi as saying: “If we make the determination,
we are able to resume 20 percent-enrichment in at most five days.”
Iran gave up the majority of its stockpile of 20-percent enriched uranium as part of the 2015 nuclear deal with world powers.
The nuclear deal, which lifted sanctions on Iran, currently caps the Islamic Republic’s uranium enrichment at under 5 percent.
Iran long has said its nuclear program is for peaceful purpose
