Iran Escalates Nuclear Program Amid UN Censure
TL;DR Summary
Iran announced it is activating new advanced centrifuges for uranium enrichment following criticism from the UN's International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) over its lack of cooperation. This move comes after the IAEA passed a resolution urging Iran to improve its cooperation, which Iran claims is politically motivated. Despite Iran's insistence that its nuclear program is for peaceful purposes, concerns remain about its potential to develop nuclear weapons. The situation follows Iran's gradual withdrawal from the 2015 nuclear deal after the US reimposed sanctions in 2018.
