Iran's nuclear program continues to advance, with a secretive and heavily guarded Fordow facility now producing enriched uranium approaching levels suitable for developing a nuclear weapon, a Washington Post report has revealed.
There have been reports that the factory chambers, which under the 2015 agreement stopped enriching uranium, now have new equipment installed that could potentially double the production of enriched uranium at the nuclear plant, notes the Washington Post.
p>This development underscores the collapse of the 2015 Iran nuclear deal, which imposed severe restrictions on Iran's nuclear activities. The 2015 agreement was negotiated as the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA) by the United States during the presidency of Barack Obama and the European Union, which is technically in force, although not being followed.
