TEHRAN, September 26 - A senior Iranian lawmaker said that the country would increase its enrichment capability in case the US withdraws from the nuclear deal.
TEHRAN, Young Journalists Club (YJC) - “We can increase enrichment capability for peaceful purposes if parties of the nuclear deal say that there should be no nuclear deal,” said Chairman of Iranian Parliament National Security and Foreign Policy Commission Alaeddin Boroujerdi.
He added that the nuclear deal is an international deal supported by the UN Security Council resolution, adding US has only isolated itself because of its positions on the nuclear deal.
“Americans are completely aware that if they say there should be no nuclear deal, we can go back to where we were with more capability and show our enrichment for peaceful purposes.”
He further said that in case the parties withdraw from the nuclear deal, Iran could use new successfully-tested centrifuges with 20-fold capacity and, “We can increase our enrichment capability.”
