Iran's supreme leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei said Monday that the Islamic republic could boost uranium enrichment to 60 percent if needed, vowing to "not back down on the nuclear issue".
That would be far above the 3.67 percent limit Iran had accepted under the 2015 nuclear deal with world powers, but still short of the around 90 percent required to make an atomic bomb.
Iran has repeatedly denied that it is seeking to build nuclear weapons, a point Khamenei reiterated in the comments that were posted on his official website Monday.

There is no use of 60% uranium, it is just a step to go to 90%...but Iran doesn't want a nuclear weapon. Iran want money AND some nuclear weapons. We are just voluntary blind.
Maybe we ought to let Iran have nukes. With any luck they will have a knock out drag'em out fight with Saudi Arabia.
The same liberal assholes (cabinet makers and others who complain about how evil Saudi Arabia is, defend the building and support of militant mosques in America and around the world with Saudi money. They do. They defend every Muslim group taking Saudi money.
Iran is not any less chauvinist than Saudi Arabia. They just hide a little better with the help of cabinet makers and other riff raff.
