<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
The Iranian regime said on Sunday it is fully prepared to enrich uranium at any level and with any amount, in further violation of its 2015 nuclear deal with world powers.<\/p>\n
In a news conference broadcast live, senior regime officials said Tehran would keep reducing its commitments every 60 days unless signatories of the pact moved to protect it from U.S. sanctions.<\/p>\n
\u201cIn a few hours the technical process will come to an end and the enrichment beyond 3.67% will begin,\u201d said Behrouz Kamalvandi, the spokesman for Iran\u2019s Atomic Energy Organisation.<\/p>\n
\u201cAnd tomorrow early in the morning, when the IAEA (U.N. nuclear watchdog) takes the sample we would have gone beyond 3.67%.\u201d<\/p>\n
Under the deal, the Iranian regime was permitted to enrich uranium to 3.67% fissile material, well below the 20% it was reaching before the deal and the roughly 90% suitable for a nuclear weapon.<\/p>\n
Kamalvandi claimed Iran’s regime would enrich uranium for use in fuelling its Bushehr power plant, to the level of 5%, confirming what Reuters reported on Saturday.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe are fully prepared to enrich uranium at any level and with any amount,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
At the news conference in Tehran, Abbas Araqchi, the regime’s senior nuclear negotiator, claimed European countries are “responsible” for the regime’s breaches of the nuclear deal.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe doors of diplomacy are open but what matters are new initiatives which are required,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
