Iran could raise uranium enrichment to 90% if US attacks again, lawmaker says

TEHRAN, May 12. /TASS/. The Iranian parliament will discuss raising uranium enrichment to 90% if the United States and Israel attack again, Ebrahim Rezaei, a member of the Iranian parliament’s Committee on National Security and Foreign Policy, said. "If Iran is attacked again, one option would be to enrich uranium to 90%. We will discuss this in parliament," he wrote on his X social media page. On May 11, US President Donald Trump said that Iran refuses to commit to not developing nuclear weapons. Later, Trump stated that the United States might soon resume military operations in the Strait of Hormuz or even take "much more severe" action against Iran. Tehran has repeatedly emphasized that it is not trying to develop a nuclear bomb. Furthermore, Western intelligence agencies have found no evidence of Iran developing nuclear weapons. The New York Times also confirmed this at the end of January. Additionally, a fatwa (religious edict) issued by the former supreme leader of the Islamic Republic, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, has been in effect in Iran since 2003, prohibiting the production of nuclear weapons.
