Iran could enrich uranium to weapons grade if attacked, lawmaker warns

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.

"One of Iran's options in the event of another attack could be 90 percent enrichment. We will review it in the parliament," Rezaei, who is spokesperson for the ⁠parliamentary national security and foreign policy commission, posted on X.

U.S. President Donald Trump said on Monday an ongoing ceasefire between the U.S. and Iran was on "life support" after dismissing an Iranian proposal, underscoring how fragile diplomatic efforts to end the conflict remain.
