Iran expanding its Nuclear Programme amid Amerian Presiden Joe Biden oath-taking, In their recent statement by IAEA in their recent statements.
Iran was given a deal in 2015 by then-President Barack Obama in return Iran was to halt its nuclear enrichment Plan.
The contract was later terminated in 2018 by U.S.A President Donald Trump by alleging Iran for violations. Now, it has been reported that Iran is expanding its Nuclear Metal Programme once again which is a blow for the entire world.
Iran claims that its Nuclear Programme is for peaceful energy and is not meant for any preparation of Nuclear Weapons.
IAEA Director General Rafael Mariano Grossi informed IAEA Member States about Iran recent plan to conduct R&D activities on uranium metal production as a part of its declared aim to design an improved type of fuel for the Tehran Reactor
The agency issued ad hoc reports member states whenever Iran breaches a deal. Interestingly the IAEA avoids calling this breaches and leave the decision upon the Member states to assess in the light of the 2015 accord signed with Iran
The deal in 2015 imposed a 15-year ban on Iran for acquiring uranium metal, This is a sensitive metal used for making Nuclear Bombs
Reuters obtained the confidential report originally sent to the member states. Iran had indicated its plan to produce uranium metal from its resources of natural uranium and later on, they intend to produce uranium metal by enriching it to 20% for fuel for Tehran Research Reactor
In the 2015 deal, it was agreed that Iran will develop the uranium metal in small batches in a period spanning to 10 years
Iran tends to raise its uranium enrichment programme to 20% a level that Iran reached before the 2015 deal. The same was developed at Iran Fordow site which is buried in the mountains. The enrichment programme started once again though Iran has reached 4.5% slightly above the 3.67% limit imposed by the deal and is 90% short of producing weapon-grade uranium.
U.S intelligence agencies and IAEA believes Iran is on way for a secret coordinated nuclear weapons programme that it halted in 2003. Iran completely rejects these allegations on the ground that they have no programme to develop nuclear weapons and they aim at developing nuclear energy only.
Iran informed the IAEA that there is no limitation on their R&D activities and they have begun installation and modification of there R&D activities in there Fuel Plate Fabrication Plant in Isfahan.
