Iran warned on Tuesday that it could raise its uranium enrichment level to 90% if it is attacked again.
Ibrahim Rezaei, spokesman for the National Security and Foreign Policy Committee of the Iranian Parliament, said in a post on the “X” platform that “one of the options available to Iran in the event of a new aggression is to enrich uranium to 90%.”
Rezaei added that the Iranian parliament would discuss the option of raising enrichment to this level if the country were subjected to a new attack.
This comes in conjunction with what the American website “Axios” reported yesterday, Monday, that President Donald Trump is inclined towards military action against Iran, confirming that the President of the United States is actually thinking about resuming “Project Freedom” in the Strait of Hormuz and is considering the option of striking 25% of the targets that have not yet been targeted in Iran.
He added that Trump considers any military intervention to extract Iran’s enriched nuclear material to be an “extremely dangerous” operation.
