Iran will likely be able to produce enriched uranium ‘in a matter of months’, IAEA chief says | Iran
In a statement on Saturday, CBS News, the UN Nuclear Guard Chief Rafael Grosi said Iran will start to produce enriched uranium, although Iran damages several nuclear facilities from the US and Israeli attacks.
On June 13, Israel launched a bombing campaign in Iran’s nuclear and military fields and aims to prevent Iran from developing a nuclear weapon – a ambition that the Islamic Republic constantly rejected.
The United States later bombed the three key facilities used for Tehran’s atomic program.
Iran’s Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi says the scope of the damage to nuclear areas is “serious, but the details are not known. Donald Trump insisted that Iran’s nuclear program has returned for decimal years ..
But the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) General Manager Grossi said, “Some are still standing,” he said.
According to a transcript of the interview published on Saturday, Grossi said, Grosi said, “You know, in a few months, within a few months, they may have a few KASKAD centrifugal that returns less than that of enriched uranium or less than that,” he said.
Another important question is whether Iran can change some or all of the stocks of highly enriched uranium stocks before attacks.
The uranium is enriched to 60% above the levels of civilian use, but still below the weapon class. If this material is more refined, theoretically sufficient to produce more than nine nuclear bombs.
“We don’t know where this material could be, Gr said Grosi CBS.
“So some could be destroyed as part of the attack, but some were moving. So there must be an explanation at some point.”
For now, Iranian deputies voted to suspend cooperation with IAEA, and Tehran rejected Grosi’s request to visit the damaged areas, especially the main uranium enrichment facility, Fordow.
“We must be in a position to determine what it is and where it is and what it is, Gr said Grossi.
In a separate interview with FOX News on Sunday morning, Trump said he didn’t think the stock was moved.
According to the quotes of the interview, the US President said, “It is a very difficult thing to do, but we have not made much notification,” he said. “They didn’t move anything.”
On Saturday, US Secretary of State Marco Rubio underlined Washington’s support of “IAEA’s critical verification and monitoring efforts in Iran, and praised Grosi and his agency for“ devotion and professionalism.
The full Grossi interview will oppose the nation with Margaret Brennan on Sunday.
