Iran denies enriching uranium to 84 percent purity
Iran has denied reports that it has enriched uranium to 84 percent purity, which is close to weapons grade. The Islamic Republic has been enriching uranium to up to 60 percent purity since April 2021. Three months ago it started enriching to that level at a second site, Fordow, which is dug into a mountain. Weapons grade is around 90 percent.
United States - based financial news agency Bloomberg reported on Sunday that inspectors with the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) had found uranium enriched to a purity of 84 percent- just below the 90 percent required for a bomb - and are trying to determine if it was produced intentionally.
