Uranium

IAEA Director General Rafael Mariano Grossi has told media on Wednesday that Iran does not appear to be actively enriching uranium.

The spokesperson for Iranian Parliament's National Security and Foreign Policy Commission says that enriching uranium is the inalienable right of the country, noting that Islamic Republic of Iran will not give in to pressures.

A source has told local Iranian media that the aggressor Israeli regime might have used depleted uranium in its ammunition it used in strikes on some critical targets.

Iran has accelerated its production of high-level uranium, a report by the United Nations’ International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) said on Wednesday.

Iran is dramatically accelerating its enrichment of uranium to up to 60% purity, a Western media outlet has cited Director General of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) Rafael Grossi as saying.

EghtesadOnline: The parliament speaker said Iran has produced 17 kilograms of uranium enriched to a purity level of 20% at a nuclear facility in less than a month.

EghtesadOnline: Iran’s Monday move to enrich uranium to 20% purity as per a parliamentary legislation does not mark an end to the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action, the formal name of the 2015 nuclear deal, as it can be restored to its original shape once all parties resume their full commitment, an Iranian diplomat said.

EghtesadOnline: Iran’s nuclear chief said on Monday that the country is now producing more low-enriched uranium daily, after restarting the underground facility at Fordow.
