Iran does not bother to develop its own nuclear program

120 kg of enriched uranium made by signing agreement with superpowers

Tehran: The fact that Iran has no ties to any of the world's superpowers in developing its nuclear program is evidenced by the fact that it recently produced 120 kilograms of enriched uranium.

The head of Iran's nuclear program has officially announced that his country has developed 120 kilograms of enriched uranium out of the 20 percent approved for Iran. This was confirmed by the International Atomic Energy Agency, which monitors Iran's nuclear program.

In an interview with Iranian state-owned TV last Sunday, Mohammad Islami, head of Iran's nuclear program, said that under the terms of an agreement reached with Iran in 2015, the superpowers provided about 20 percent enriched uranium to Iran's research reactors. Uranium was not supplied.

Under the terms of the nuclear deal with Iran, Iran was allowed to produce only 3.67 percent of the enriched uranium, excluding the enriched uranium required for the various activities of its research reactors.

Remember that more than 90 percent enriched uranium can make a nuclear bomb. In September alone, the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) said that the amount of enriched uranium, about 20 per cent, approved for INAR reached 84.3 kg, up from 62.8 kg three months ago.

Atomic scientists believe that at least 170 kilograms of enriched uranium would be needed to make a nuclear bomb out of the approved 20 percent enriched uranium. The world's superpowers pledged to ease economic sanctions on Iran under an agreement called the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action with Iran, in return for which Iran was required to suspend its nuclear program.
