Iran says it is producing half a kilo of 20% enriched uranium every day

(Worthy News) – The head of Iran’s Atomic Energy Organization, Ali Akbar Salehi, said Monday that the country was producing almost 500 grams of uranium enriched to 20 percent purity a day, after beginning to do so earlier this month in breach of the 2015 nuclear accord.

Salehi told the Khamenei.ir website, the official site of Iran’s supreme leader, Ali Khamenei, that nuclear scientists “are producing 20 grams every hour, meaning that practically, we are producing half a kilo every day.”

He called for the removal of US sanctions against the Islamic Republic imposed due to its nuclear program and other rogue activities such as its ballistic missile program. [ Source: Times of Israel (Read More…) ]
