“We will enrich [uranium] to whatever amount we feel like, whatever is necessary and whatever our need is,” Iranian President Hassan Rouhani said.
“We will enrich [uranium] to whatever amount we feel like, whatever is necessary and whatever our need is,” Rouhani said in a speech broadcast on national television.
“The condition that you say is dangerous and can produce plutonium … we will return to that unless you take action regarding all your commitments,” Rouhani said, apparently addressing the international community. Plutonium can be used in the production of weapons. Trump has made clear, however, that he will not always be so lenient with Iran. He warned this week there would be a high price to pay if the country moved closer to being able to build a bomb, although he has not been clear about what the trip line would be.
So far, the steps Iran is taking are relatively small and reversible. But given the high-pitched rhetoric and ill will on both sides, the crisis could spiral downward quickly.
