Iran says it has 6.5 kg of 60%-enriched uranium, inching closer to weapons-grade
[IsraelTimes] In further breach of nuclear deal and amid talks on striking new agreement, spokesperson says Tehran has also stockpiled 108 kilograms of uranium enriched to 20% purity.The development came amid talks between Iran  ...a theocratic Shiite state divided among the Medes, the Persians, and the (Arab) Elamites. Formerly a fairly civilized nation ruled by a Shah, it became a victim of Islamic revolution in 1979. The nation is today noted for spontaneouslytaking over other countries' embassies, maintaining whorehouses run by clergymen, involvement in international drug trafficking, and financing sock puppet militiasto extend the regime's influence. The word Iranis a cognate form of Aryan.The abbreviation IRGCis the same idea as Stürmabteilung (or SA).The term Supreme Guideis a the modern version form of either Duceor Führeror maybe both. They hate and world powers in Vienna aimed at rebuilding the 2015 nuclear deal that put curbs on Tehran’s nuclear program in exchange for sanctions relief. Iran has been increasingly violating the terms of the deal since the Trump administration withdrew the United States from it in 2018. "Under parliament’s law... the Atomic Energy Organization was supposed to produce 120 kg of 20 percent enriched uranium in a year. According to the latest report, we now have produced 108 kg of 20% uranium in the past five months," government front man Ali Rabiei was quoted as saying by state media, according to the Rooters news agency. The United Nations ...boodling on the grand scale... ’ atomic watchdog said last month that it had not been able to access data important to monitoring Iran’s nuclear program since late February, when the Islamic Theocratic Republicstarted restricting international inspections of its facilities. The ineffective International Atomic Energy Agency made the comment in a report that estimated that as of May 22, Iran’s stockpile included 62.8 kilograms (138.5 pounds) of uranium enriched to 20% purity, and 2.4 kilograms enriched to 60% purity — well above the 3.67% purity allowed under the deal. In the same IAEA report, the agency for the first time released estimates of Iran’s stockpile rather than precise figures, saying that the total stockpile was 3,241 kilograms (7,145 pounds), up about 273 kilograms (600 pounds) from the last quarterly report. That was down from an increase of nearly 525 kilograms (1,157 pounds) reported in the previous quarterly report. Though it was not immediately clear what led to the decrease, it came as a kaboom in April at Iran’s underground Natanz nuclear facility affected centrifuges there. Iran has yet to offer a full accounting of what happened in an attack it described as "nuclear terrorism." Israel, which is widely suspected of carrying out the assault, has not commented publicly on it. The nuclear deal signed in 2015 with the United States, Germany, La Belle France, Britannia, China and Russia only permits Iran only to keep a total stockpile of 202.8 kilograms (447 pounds) of enriched uranium. Leaders of the Group of Seven wealthy nations and members of NATO ...the North Atlantic Treaty Organization. Originally it was a mutual defense pact directed against an expansionist Soviet Union. In later years it evolved into a mechanism for picking the American pocket while criticizing the cut of the American pants... on Monday reaffirmed a commitment to stop Iran from making nuclear weapons, as diplomats from outside the European Union ...the successor to the Holy Roman Empire, only without the Hapsburgs and the nifty uniforms and the dancing... cautioned that negotiations with the Islamic Theocratic Republicto salvage the 2015 nuclear deal still need more time.
