CNN: Iran vows to pursue 'industrial-scale enrichment' if nuclear deal fails
Tehran (CNN)Iran says it is ready to restart nuclear enrichment on an "industrial scale" in the wake of the US decision to abandon the deal that curbs the country's nuclear ambitions.
In a statement published Friday, Iranian Foreign Minister Javad Zarif said he would embark on a round of international diplomacy to try and save the deal. At the same time, the country would make preparations to restart its nuclear program, he said.

There is quite a bit of misrepresentation about the tech used for 'something you damn well do NOT want to go BANG' as opposed to something you DO. Iran had an enrichment program to 20% which would have satisfied roughly half of domestic demand for isotopes used in nuclear medicine. Weapons grade enrichment of 95% is not even established as being within their capabilities - nor is there any assurance that in such case Russia would not cut off supply of nuclear feedstocks. Moscow may well not have any fondness for any Iranian WMD itself - and is in a good position to squelch any such initiative.
