Iran Threatens To Enrich Uranium In ‘Any Amount That We Want’ As Tensions Mount

Huff Post  

LOADING ERROR LOADING Iranian President Hassan Rouhani announced Wednesday that his country would begin to enrich uranium in “any amount that we want” as early as Sunday. The latest escalation in a dramatic confrontation between Tehran and the United States comes just days after Iran said it had blown past the uranium stockpile limits established in the 2015 Iran nuclear deal, an agreement with six world powers that was meant to scale back its nuclear ability for a decade in exchange for an end in economic sanctions. While Iran has repeatedly said it does not want to craft a nuclear bomb, any efforts to make highly-enriched uranium could endanger what’s left of the 2015 deal, The New York Times reported. Rouhani warned European partners in its faltering nuclear deal on Wednesday that Tehran will increase its enrichment of uranium to "any amount that we want" beginning on Sunday, putting pressure on them to offer a way around intense U.S. sanctions targeting the country.
