US Secretary of State on Wednesday called Iran’s announcement of an intent to begin enriching uranium at 60% purity “provocative."

Iran PressAmerica: Iran has said it will enrich uranium to 60% in response to an act of sabotage by Israel against its key nuclear facility in Natanz, Reuters reported.

“We take very seriously its provocative announcement of an intent to begin enriching uranium at 60 percent,” Antoni Blinken told a news conference at NATO headquarters in Brussels, referring to Iran.

“I have to tell you the step calls into question Iran’s seriousness with regard the nuclear talks, just as it underscores the imperative of returning to mutual compliance with the JCPOA,” Blinken said.
