(Worthy News) – Iran has begun producing small amounts of uranium metal, the UN atomic watchdog said on February 10, in the latest breach of Tehran’s 2015 deal with world powers as it seeks to ramp up pressure on U.S. President Joe Biden’s new administration.
International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) head Rafael Grossi told member nations that inspectors had confirmed on February 8 that 3.6 grams of uranium metal had been produced at a nuclear facility in Isfahan.
Although the amount is small and not enriched, uranium metal could be used to form the core of a nuclear weapon. [ Source: Radio Free Europe (Read More…) ]
