Rezaei, who is the spokesperson for the parliamentary committee on national security and foreign policy, wrote that this is one of the key options that will be discussed in Tehran.
“One of Iran’s options in the event of a new attack could be 90 percent enrichment. We will analyze this in parliament,” Ebrahim Rezaei said.
For nuclear power plants, uranium is typically enriched to 3–5%, while the production of nuclear weapons requires a level of around 90%, notes Index.
This threat comes after U.S. media reported that Donald Trump is considering new strikes on Iran in order to weaken its negotiating position. It should be recalled that Trump justified the war precisely by claiming that Iran must never be allowed to develop nuclear weapons.
Peace deal collapses
It should be recalled that hopes for a peace agreement faded after Donald Trump stated that the ceasefire with Iran was “on life support,” while Tehran rejected the U.S. proposal to end the conflict and maintained a list of demands that the U.S. president described as “garbage,” according to Reuters.
Trump said that Iran’s response jeopardizes the status of the ceasefire that began on April 7.
“I would call it the weakest right now, after reading that garbage they sent us. I didn’t even read it to the end,” Trump told reporters, having repeatedly threatened to end the ceasefire.
The State Department said that U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio held phone calls with his Australian and British counterparts to discuss “ongoing efforts to restore freedom of navigation in the Strait of Hormuz.”
However, no further details were provided.
