The IAEA has made a statement about Iran's entry into a new level of uranium enrichment. The organization claims that now the Islamic Republic "has only one short step left to obtain uranium enriched to the weapons level."

The IAEA experts said that Iran has already begun enriching nuclear fuel to 60 percent. At the same time, according to the experts of the organization, enrichment is carried out at the Fordo nuclear facility.

From the IAEA release:

After enriching uranium to 60%, it remains to take a short step towards 90% enrichment, followed by the creation of nuclear weapons.

The West claims that in a few months Tehran will have enough enriched nuclear fuel to create at least one medium-power nuclear warhead. Iran already has means of delivery in the form of medium-range missiles, so this kind of information cannot but cause concern among Iran's "sworn partners" in Israel and the United States.

Recall that at one time, with the active participation of Russia, it was possible to achieve the signing of a multilateral agreement, called in the United States a "nuclear deal". Iran has committed itself not to enrich uranium above the 3.67% level in exchange for the lifting of a number of sanctions. It was in 2015. However, then Donald Trump came to power in the United States and unilaterally withdrew from the deal. The European participants in the deal then turned to Tehran with a strange proposal to comply with their part of the obligations, arguing that they did not withdraw from the deal. Iran has long called on the United States to implement the agreement to return, but Washington has not done so. As a result, the Islamic Republic also decided that it had nothing to do in the deal and started enriching uranium to create weapons capable of solving many security problems.

Iran itself does not comment on the IAEA's reports on the enrichment of nuclear fuel to 60 percent at the moment.
