Iran Triples Production of Enriched Uranium
Iran has tripled its production rate of near-weapons-grade 60 percent enriched uranium, the United Nations’ nuclear watchdog reported on December 26.
The increased production is “reversing a previous output reduction from mid-2023,” the International Atomic Energy Agency (iaea) said.
Since mid-June, Iran’s two main enrichment plants in Natanz and Fordow have been enriching uranium up to 60 percent at a rate of about 3 kilograms a month. Since November, production has increased to 9 kilograms per month, the agency confirmed.
Nearly nuclear: Iran already has enough uranium enriched up to 60 percent to make three nuclear bombs, if that uranium were enriched further to 90 percent. United States officials have said it would take Iran less than two weeks to turn the enriched uranium into a nuclear weapon.
In January, the iaea discovered that Iran had produced uranium at about 84 percent purity, just shy of weapons grade.
World war? Despite U.S. sanctions, Iran continues to push for nuclear weapons. Bible prophecy shows that Iran will soon play an even more terrifying role in world events than its current one.
Iran is extremely radical—the king over radical Islam. Where is this nation’s pushiness leading? To war! Just as it has in the past. It is leading inevitably to terrifying war with weapons of mass destruction. It can lead nowhere else. Iran is preparing itself to trigger a nuclear World War iii!
