Iran Starts Enriching Uranium at 60%, its Highest Level Ever
[AnNahar] 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 the same idea as Stürmabteilung (or SA). The term Supreme Guide is a the modern version form of either Duce or Führer or maybe both. They hate Jews Zionists Jews. Their economy is based on the production of oil and vitriol...
began enriching uranium up to 60% purity Friday, its highest level ever, after an attack targeted its Natanz nuclear site, the country's parliament speaker said.

The comment by Mohammad Bagher Qalibaf, quoted by state television
... and if you can't believe state television who can you believe?
, did not elaborate on the amount Iran planned to enrich. However,
corruption finds a dozen alibis for its evil deeds...
it is likely to raise tensions even as Iran negotiates with world powers in Vienna over a way to allow the U.S. back into the agreement and lift the crushing economic sanctions it faces.

The announcement also marks a significant escalation after the sabotage that damaged centrifuges, an attack this past weekend suspected of having been carried out by Israel. While Israel has yet to claim it, the country is widely suspected of having carried out the still-unexplained sabotage at Natanz, Iran's main enrichment site.

"The will of the land of the Medes and the Persians is a miracle-maker and it will defuse any conspiracy," state television
... and if you can't believe state television who can you believe?
quoted Qalibaf as saying. He said the enrichment began just after midnight Friday.

The move could inspire a further response from Israel amid a long-running shadow war between the nations.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has vowed never to allow Tehran to obtain a nuclear weapon and his country has twice preemptively bombed Mideast nations to stop their atomic programs.

Ex-IAEA official: In theory, Iran could reach weapons-grade enrichment in a week

[IsraelTimes] But Olli Heinonen says the Islamic Theocratic Republic would still need months to make a bomb if it did so, after Tehran announces it has begun enriching uranium to 60%

#3 I still find it hypocritical of some countries who say who can have "the bomb" and who can't.

#4 That is the whole point of getting there first, Clem. Just be grateful Nazi Germany wasn’t the first to get it. Or the Soviet Union. Or Pakistan. Or Sadat’s Egypt when he and the nation still believed they would win the Yom Kippur War.

Nuclear weapons are not merely the national equivalent of a dapper pocket square or even a well-fitted linen summer blazer with sockless boat shoes. In the wrong hands nuclear weapons are Antifa/BLM targetting your house with molotov cocktails.
