Iran announced had successfully enriched uranium to make nuclear fuel, a major breakthrough it’s atomic drive. The United States said that Iran was “moving in the wrong direction.”
A foreign diplomat said Iran’s announcement, if true, meant the country had made a “technological leap” and was advancing much quicker than previously thought.
“If it is true, it means that they are going faster than we expected. It represents a technological leap forward, because it’s more important to master research and development than to go from RD to industrial enrichment,” said the Tehran-based diplomat, who asked not to be named.
This means Iran could soon cross the so-called “point of no-return” — a point where it has the technical know-how and the capacity to build a bomb.
