What happens next if Iran enriches to nuclear weapons-grade purity?

Published



The well-sourced Barak Ravid reports that Israel, in the past two weeks, has briefed the United States and its European partners on intelligence that indicates Iran may begin enriching its uranium stockpile to 90% “weapons-grade” purity.

The Iran nuclear accord has been dormant-to-dead since Donald Trump withdrew the U.S. in 2018.

President Joe Biden wants to restore the agreement, and negotiations to that effect belatedly began in Vienna on Monday.
