      <title>Iran could enrich uranium to weapons grade if attacked, lawmaker warns</title>
      <link>https://english.aaj.tv/news/330458841/iran-could-enrich-uranium-to-weapons-grade-if-attacked-lawmaker-warns</link>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Iranian parliamentary spokesman Ebrahim Rezaei said on Tuesday that ​the country could enrich uranium up to 90% ‌purity, a level considered weapons-grade, if Iran is attacked again.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;“One of Iran’s options in the event of another attack could be ​90 per cent enrichment. We will review it ​in the parliament,” Rezaei, who is spokesperson for the ⁠parliamentary national security and foreign policy commission, posted on ​X.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;US President Donald Trump said on Monday that an ongoing ​ceasefire between the US and Iran was on “life support” after dismissing an Iranian proposal, underscoring how fragile diplomatic efforts to end ​the conflict remain.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Last June, Trump said Iran’s nuclear ​facilities were “obliterated” by US and Israeli strikes during a 12-day ‌war, ⁠severely limiting Iran’s capacity to enrich uranium.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The fate of around 400kg of uranium enriched to 60%, a short technical step from roughly 90% weapons-grade material, remains unclear.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;US intelligence assessments ​suggest Tehran’s nuclear ​programme will ⁠not be significantly impeded unless that highly enriched uranium (HEU) stockpile is removed or destroyed.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The nuclear ​issue has been a key point of ​contention ⁠in talks between the US and Iran to end the conflict that began in late February.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Tehran wants nuclear topics discussed ⁠at ​a later stage, while Washington ​insists Iran should move its highly enriched uranium stockpile abroad and renounce ​domestic enrichment.&lt;/p&gt;
