#Iran is “pressing the gas pedal” on its enrichment* of #uranium to near weapons grade, UN nuclear watchdog chief #RafaelGrossi said on Wednesday, adding that Iran’s recently announced acceleration in #enrichment was starting to take effect.

- Grossi said last month that Iran had informed the International Atomic Energy Agency that it would “dramatically” accelerate the enrichment of uranium to up to 60% purity, closer to the roughly 90% of weapons-grade.
