Nuclear Tensions Rise as Iranian Lawmaker Signals Push for Weapons-Grade Uranium Enrichment

An Iranian lawmaker signaled that Tehran could increase uranium enrichment to 90 percent if attacked by the United States and Israel, raising concerns about escalating tensions over the country’s nuclear program. This development comes amid repeated US and Israeli declarations to prevent Iran from obtaining nuclear weapons. The ongoing deadlock in negotiations stems from Iran’s non-compliance with the 2015 JCPOA and the US demand for nuclear concessions.
