Iran has denied reports that it has enriched uranium to 84%, close to weapons-grade purity.
Iran has been enriching uranium up to 60 percent since April 2021. 3 months ago, it began enriching uranium to this level at a second site, Fordow. Uranium is used in making weapons at an enrichment level of approximately 90 percent.
"So far, we have not made any attempt to enrich above 60%. The presence of particles above 60% enrichment does not mean production with an enrichment above 60%," the spokesperson for Iran's Atomic Energy Organisation, Behrouz Kamalvandi, said.
The spokesperson described the report as “defamation” and said it distorted the facts.
Bloomberg News reported on Sunday that monitors from the International Atomic Energy Agency had discovered uranium enriched to 84 percent last week.
