Israel accused this Saturday to Iran of wanting “Complete your nuclear weapons program.” It was after knowing a confidential report of the International Atomic Energy Agency (OIEA)according to which Tehran accelerated its rhythm of production of enriched uranium reserves at 60%.
“Despite the innumerable warnings of the international community, Iran is totally determined to complete its nuclear weapons program”, Said the office of the Israeli prime minister, Benjamin Netanyahuin a statement.
The 60% enrichment level of uranium is about 90% necessary to manufacture Nuclear weapons. The nuclear agency of the UN They see this as a “considerable increase in the production and accumulation of highly enriched uranium” by Iran.
After a report from the OIEA, Israel pointed against Iran
The report arises in the middle of a context of conversations between Iran and the US, on a possible nuclear agreement. According to an access by The Associated Press Agency (AP), until May 17, the regime accumulates 408.6 kilograms (900.8 pounds) of enriched uranium up to 60%.
This represents an increase of 133.8 kilograms (294.9 pounds) from the agency’s last report in February. This material is at a Small technical step to reach 90% arms degree levels.
That is, Iranian technicians have the knowledge and ability to produce the necessary uranium for an atomic weapon. Last February, the report placed the stock in 274.8 kilograms (605.8 pounds).
Iran and its nuclear program: pending things
For its part, the UN Agency indicated that Iran’s cooperation in nuclear issues is “less than satisfactory”They pointed out that although he complied with routine safeguards, he denounced that they did not offer “Technically credible” answers to the questions raised by the agency.
This omission hindered significantly verification activitiesaccording to the report. The IEA inspectors identified three specific sites in Lavisan-Shian, Varamin and Turquzabad where Iran did not declare nuclear material or related activities.
This fault prevents determining If the nuclear material was consumed, mixed with others or continues outside the control of the OIEA, which generates great concern about the possible repercussions on nuclear proliferation.
Unless these issues will be completed with the agency, “the agency will not be able to ensure that Iran’s nuclear program is exclusively peaceful,” concludes the OIEA. Its director, Rafael Grossi, emphasized an urgent call to Iran to cooperate full and effectively.
