Iran Faces Criticism Over Record Levels of Enriched Uranium

Britain, France, and Germany call on Iran to reverse its nuclear escalation, citing lack of civilian justification for uranium enrichment.

• The International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) reports that Iran now possesses uranium enriched to 60%, a level approaching the 90% needed for nuclear weapons.
• Britain, France, and Germany have accused Iran of stockpiling enriched uranium at unprecedented levels without credible civilian purposes.
• The three nations suggest reimposing sanctions under the 2015 nuclear deal, which was undermined after the U.S. withdrew in 2018 and Iran escalated its enrichment activities.
• Iran has installed advanced centrifuges, further undermining the terms of the nuclear deal it claims to support, according to Western nations.
• Iran defends its actions, asserting its right to peaceful nuclear energy and accusing Western nations of failing to uphold their commitments under the nuclear agreement.
