Iran says it has manufactured 120 pounds of 20% enriched uranium this year
2021-04-08
[IsraelTimes] Announcement of further violations of nuclear deal comes a day after Washington and Tehran begin indirect talks aimed at getting agreement back on track.

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...
has produced 55 kilograms (121 lbs) of uranium enriched to 20 percent since the beginning of the year in defiance of the 2015 nuclear deal, a senior Iranian official said Wednesday.

The announcement came a day after the US and Iran began indirect talks aimed at finding a path for both countries to return to the deal.

The production rate is even faster than the goal of enriching 120 kg (260 lbs) of uranium a year, or 10 kg per month, stipulated by an Iranian law passed last year that aimed to pressure the US in response to crippling sanctions imposed by the Trump administration.

Iran’s production rate is already "up to 40%" faster than that, Atomic Energy Organisation front man Behrouz Kamalvandi told state TV, according to Rooters.

"In less than four months we have produced 55 kg of 20% enriched uranium ... in around eight months we can reach 120 kg," Kamalvandi said.

Uranium enriched to 20% is a short technical step away from weapons-grade 90% enrichment.

#4  120 lbs of 20% enriched is enough to make a 15% of 90% enriched which is enough for one bomb.

Of course, putting it together and delivering it is another story.
