Iran plans 20% uranium enrichment 'as soon as possible'

Please be patient, President Biden will make EVERYTHING possible



Iran said Saturday it plans to enrich uranium up to 20% at its underground Fordo nuclear facility "as soon as possible", pushing its program a technical step away from weapons-grade levels as it increases pressure on the West over the tattered atomic deal.

The move comes amid heightened tensions between Iran and the U.S. in the waning days of the administration of President Donald Trump, who unilaterally withdrew America from Tehran's nuclear deal in 2018.

Iran's decision to begin enriching to 20% a decade ago nearly brought an Israeli strike targeting its nuclear facilities, tensions that only abated with the 2015 atomic deal. A resumption of 20% enrichment could see that brinksmanship return.
