U.S. President Joe Biden said on Sunday that Iran’s announcement of its intention to start enriching uranium at 60% is unhelpful.

“We do not support and do not think it’s at all helpful that Iran is saying it’s going to move to enrich to 60 percent,” Biden said during a joint news conference with Japanese Prime Minister Yoshihide Suga in Washington.

 

Moreover, he added that it is too early to judge the results of the ongoing talks on the Iranian nuclear file.

 

It is worth mentioning that, Deputy Foreign Minister of Iran Abbas Araghchi told the official Iranian media, Tuesday, that Tehran will start on Wednesday enriching uranium by 60%.

 

He also revealed that Iran will install 1000 advanced centrifuges (its capacity is 50% higher than the current devices) in the Natanz nuclear facility, as well as replace the “destroyed machines” as a result of an explosion that occurred on Sunday in this nuclear complex in central Iran.
