thebalanced.newsIran Warns of Potential 90% Uranium Enrichment if Attacked Amid US Tensions
Iran has warned it may enrich uranium to 90% purity, considered weapons-grade, if it faces another attack by the US or Israel. This statement by Iranian parliamentary spokesperson Ebrahim Rezaei comes amid stalled nuclear talks and reports of potential US military options. US President Trump has emphasized preventing Iran from acquiring nuclear weapons and described the ongoing ceasefire as fragile. Iran's nuclear program has expanded since the US withdrew from the 2015 agreement, accumulating significant enriched uranium stockpiles.
