European powers voice 'grave concern' over Iran's uranium enrichment plan
Following the alleged Israeli attack on Iran's Natanz nuclear facility, Tehran has announced it will enrich uranium to 60% purity.
The United Kingdom, France and Germany expressed their “grave concern” in a statement over Iran’s plan to ramp up uranium enrichment, a move the European powers warned would undermine the fragile diplomatic process as the Joe Biden administration seeks to revive the nuclear agreement.
“This is a serious development since the production of highly enriched uranium constitutes an important step in the production of a nuclear weapon,” the European statement said. “Iran has no credible civilian need for enrichment at this level.”
