Trump withdrew the United States from the agreement in 2018, triggering a series of attacks and incidents across the Middle East; It is still unclear how the Republican will approach Iran when he takes office
Iran will begin enriching itself with thousands of advanced centrifuges at its two main nuclear facilities in Fordo and Natanz, the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) said, further raising tensions over the program. In a statement, the IAEA mentions that Iran was enriching uranium with new centrifuges until it reached a purity of 5%, much less than the 60% it currently produces, probably signaling that it still wants to negotiate with the West and the US president-elect, Donald Trump.
However, it remains unclear how it will approach Iran once it takes office, especially as the country continues to threaten to attack Israel in the midst of the war against Hamas in the Gaza Strip and just after the start of a ceasefire campaign on its territory. in Lebanon. Trump withdrew the United States from the agreement in 2018, triggering a series of attacks and incidents across the Middle East.
Iran’s mission to the United Nations did not respond to a request for comment on the IAEA report. Tehran threatened to move quickly on its program after the IAEA Board of Governors condemned Iran at a meeting this month for failing to fully cooperate with the agency.
