Iran officially begins enriching uranium to 20 percent, spokesman says

“The president had in recent days ordered the implementation of the Strategic Action to Lift Sanctions law. Accordingly, the gas injection process started a few hours ago, and the first UF6 enriched uranium product will be achieved within a few hours,” Rabiei said.

He said the whole process started after preliminary measures including informing the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) and submitting the Design Information Questionnaire based on the country's Safeguards commitments.

Rabiei noted that the government has clearly declared its view of the law passed by the Parliament, adding that it is duty-bound to implement the law. (ILKHA)
