The United Kingdom, France and Germany expressed their “grave concern” over Iran’s reported increase in uranium metal and production of enriched uranium, warning that time is running out to negotiate a return to the Iranian nuclear agreement.
The United Nation’s atomic watchdog — the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) — told member states this week Iran had enriched uranium up to 60% using two centrifuge cascades at its Natanz facility. The IAEA also said Tehran had manufactured 200 grams of uranium metal up to 20% fissile purity.
