Iran tells IAEA that it plans to enrich uranium up to 20% purity at its Fordow nuclear site
- IAEA statement: "Iran has informed the Agency that in order to comply with a legal act recently passed by the country's parliament, the Atomic Energy Organization of Iran intends to produce low-enriched uranium (LEU) up to 20 percent at the FordowFuel Enrichment Plant."
- Iran has already breached the 2015 nuclear accord's 3.67% limit on enriching uranium, taking it up to 4.5%. Before the deal Iran had gone as high as 20%, but still short of the 90% purity that is considered 'weapons grade.'
