The spokesman for the Atomic Energy Organization of Iran (AEOI) says the country's enrichment of uranium has officially reached the purity level of 60 percent in accordance with a December 2020 parliamentary law seeking to accelerate the development of the Iranian nuclear program, APA reports.
Behrouz Kamalvandi made the remarks in a meeting with a number of Iranian lawmakers on Saturday, referring to the law – dubbed the Strategic Action Plan to Counter Sanctions, which is aimed at countering sanctions and promoting the country’s peaceful nuclear program.
He said the parliamentary law has "provided good conditions for the country and today our [uranium] enrichment has officially reached 60% in accordance with this law.”
The Iranian official added that the country is pursuing continuous and non-stop research and development plans while its efforts to update a new generation of centrifuge machines are "at its best."
