Iran will speed up enrichment of
uranium after a deadline given to European countries to prevent this ends on
Thursday, the spokesman for Iran’s Atomic Energy Organization said on
Wednesday, according to the IRIB news agency.
“The deadline of the Atomic Energy
Organization for passing the production of enriched uranium from the 300
kilogram border will end tomorrow,” the organization’s spokesman Behrouz
Kamalvandi said.
He added: “With the end of this
deadline, the speed of enrichment will speed up.”
The Secretary of Iran’s Supreme
National Security Council said on Tuesday that the Islamic Republic will take
new steps to reduce its commitments under its nuclear deal with world powers on
July 7.
On Wednesday, Iran’s President
Hassan Rouhani said that the Islamic Republic “never seeks war with the United
States,” amid a spike in tensions between the two countries.
