Rouhani: Iran will Increase Enrichment To Whatever Levels Needed

By Staff- Agencies

Iranian President Hassan Rouhani announced on Wednesday that Tehran will increase its level of uranium enrichment after July 7 to whatever levels it needs beyond the 3.67 percent cap set in the landmark 2015 nuclear deal, Iran's President Hassan Rouhani said on Wednesday.

Rouhani further warned that “If the remaining signatories of the nuclear deal with world powers do not fulfill their promises, then the Arak nuclear reactor will return to its previous activities after July 7.”

In parallel, he added that Iran could return to its commitments under nuclear deal within one hour.

Speaking at a Cabinet meeting in Tehran, Rouhani’s comments seemed to signal that Europe has yet to offer Iran anything to alleviate the pain of the renewed US sanctions targeting its oil industry and top officials.

“In any amount that we want, any amount that is required, we will take over 3.67,” Rouhani said.
