UN nuclear watchdog chief says Iran has accepted request to stop expanding near weapons-grade uranium stockpile

The head of the International Atomic Energy Agency, Rafael Grossi, said that Iran has accepted a request to stop increasing its 60% uranium, which is being developed to the level of weapons. Uranium enriched to 60% purity is only a short, technological step away from 90% weapons grade standards. Although he was cautious, Grossi was optimistic, stressing that Iran might take a “different path,” adding that it “deserves serious consideration”. (AP video by Philipp Jenne)
