United Nations inspectors have found trace amounts of enriched uranium that is higher than it is supposed to be in Iran. At Iran’s Fordo site where the uranium is enriched for power plants, uranium was found to have uranium enriched at 27%. 20% in supposed to be the maximum allowed there. Iran claims that the uranium may be enriched at a higher percentage due to “reasons beyond the operator’s control.” Although it is not enough to be weapon-grade uranium, it brings Iran one step closer to it, and it is enough of an increase to get the world’s attention. Enriched uranium must be at 90% to be used in weapons. More talks about nuclear weapons are to be held by between Iran and six major world powers in the next month.
