Head of Atomic Energy Organization of Iran (AEOI) Mohammad Eslami stressed that Iran nuclear activities are within the framework of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA).
Iran will stop 20-percent uranium enrichment only if the US sanctions are lifted, a senior official said.
Head of the Atomic Energy Organization of Iran says Tehran is capable of raising the level of uranium enrichment capacity to over 20,000 SWU (Separative Work Unit) within only a month.
Iran on Sunday will announce an increase in uranium enrichment to 5%, a concentration above the limit set by its 2015 nuclear deal, an Iranian official told Reuters.
Iranian president said that his country will increase its level of uranium enrichment after July 7 to whatever levels it needs.
If the members of the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA) don’t meet Iran’s demands, after 60 days the country will stop complying with its commitments regarding the level of uranium enrichment, Iranian President Hassan Rouhani said at a meeting of the Cabinet of Ministers.
The Iranian foreign minister, Mohammad Javad Zarif, has emphasized that Europe must decide whether it wants to surrender to the United States or not, and if it chooses to be independent of US, Europe must compensate Iran for losses suffered as a result of US withdrawal from the JCPOA.
Spokesman for the Atomic Energy Organization of Iran (AEOI) Behrouz Kamalvandi says Tehran is prepared to increase its uranium enrichment to higher levels if nuclear deal salvaging with the EU fall through.
