The National Council of Resistance of Iran (NCRI<\/a>) have stated <\/a>that according to Reuters, the Iranian regime accelerated their nuclear program on uranium enrichment to near weapons-grade, just days after their new president, Ebrahim Raisi <\/a>was inaugurated.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In a report from Reuters<\/a>, it said that in May, the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA<\/a>) had stated that the regime was using one cascade of advanced centrifuges to enrich uranium metal to 60%. Earlier this week, the IAEA <\/a>made member states aware that a second cascade was being used for the same purpose. Reuters wrote, \u201cThe move is the latest of many by Iran breaching the restrictions imposed by the 2015 nuclear deal, which capped the purity to which Tehran can refine uranium at 3.67%.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
