Iran will enrich uranium to five percent at Fordow nuclear site
[ENGLISH.ALARABIYA.NET] Iran
...a theocratic Shiite state divided among the Medes, the Persians, and the (Arab) Elamites. Formerly a fairly civilized nation ruled by a Shah, it became a victim of Islamic revolution in 1979. The nation is today noted for spontaneously taking over other countries' embassies, maintaining whorehouses run by clergymen, involvement in international drug trafficking, and financing sock puppet militias to extend the regime's influence. The word Iran is a cognate form of Aryan, the abbreviation IRGC is a cognate form of Stürmabteilung (or SA), the term Supreme Guide is a cognate form of either Shah or Führer or maybe both, and they hate Jews Zionists Jews. Their economy is based on the production of oil and vitriol...
will enrich uranium to five percent at its underground Fordow nuclear facility on Wednesday, its nuclear chief Ali Akbar Salehi said on Tuesday, adding that the country had the capability to enrich uranium to 20 percent if needed.

"Tomorrow we will enrich uranium to five percent at Fordow... Right now we have enough 20 percent enriched uranium but we can produce it if needed," the Students News Agency ISNA quoted the head of the Atomic Energy Organization of Iran (AEOI) as saying, a day before Iran takes its fourth step to further scale back its commitment to a 2015 nuclear deal.

Earlier on Tuesday, President Hassan Rouhani
...Iran's moderate president, which he is, relative to his predecessor, which doesn't mean he's anything but a puppet of the nearest holy man...
said that Iran will resume uranium enrichment at its Fordow plant starting Wednesday, adding that Tehran will start injecting uranium gas into 1,044 centrifuges in the latest step away from the 2015 nuclear deal.

President Rouhani made the statement in an address carried live by Iranian state TV.

#1 enrichment to about 5% is good enough for power generation in some reactors

enrichment to about 20% is needed for the more advanced reactors

enrichment to about 80% is needed for a Hiroshima type bomb

#4 What kind of reactors do they have? Are they making Plutonium?

As for Uranium bombs 80% enriched is good enough for a heavy bomb. 90%+ is better if you want missile warhead.
