Iran’s nuclear has surged ahead, with its highly secretive and highly guarded Fordow facility now producing enriched uranium that is just shy of being weapons-grade, a Washington Post report uncovered.
Reports have emerged that in factory chambers that, under the 2015 accord, had halted enriching uranium, now have newly installed equipment that could potentially double the nuclear plant’s enriched uranium output, the Washington Post noted.
This development underscores the unraveling of the 2015 Iran nuclear deal, which imposed strict limits on Iran's nuclear activities. The 2015 accord was negotiated as the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA) by the United States under Barak Obama’s presidency and the European Union, which in all technicalities, is in effect, though not abided by.
