Moscow: 60% Uranium Enrichment Is Iran’s Decisive Response to Illegal Sanctions
Mikhail Ulyanov, Russia’s permanent representative to international organizations based in Geneva, stated that Iran’s 60% uranium enrichment is a direct response to unlawful Western sanctions. His remarks came in reply to an X (formerly Twitter) post questioning why american journalist Tucker Carlson didn’t ask Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian about the enrichment during their recent interview.
The diplomatic exchange followed Carlson’s widely publicized interview with President Pezeshkian. An X user criticized carlson for failing to address Iran’s high-level uranium enrichment during the conversation.
Ulyanov responded: ”Don’t you think 60% enrichment is merely a countermeasure-a response to illegal sanctions and hostile pressure?” He added: “It appears this countermeasure has been highly effective, as it has visibly unsettled those trying to pressure iran.”
