US expresses ‘deep concern’ over Iran’s nuclear progress

WASHINGTON, 23 November 2022, (TON): The US expressed “deep concern” over the progress Iran is making on its nuclear program and ballistic missile capability, after Tehran said it has begun enriching uranium to 60 percent at a second facility.

White House national security spokesman John Kirby said “we’re going to make sure we have all options available to the president.”

“We certainly have not changed our view that we will not allow Iran to achieve a nuclear weapons capability.”

An atomic bomb requires uranium enriched to 90 percent, so 60 percent is a significant step toward weapons-grade enrichment.
