"The president of Iran said this week that Iran, to quote, has never sought nuclear weapons, but Iran has enriched uranium to 60%. This is 20 times more than the percentage of enriched uranium needed to produce electricity. Why does Iran need a stockpile of 60% enriched uranium?
Argachi:
"Well, that's a question we answered during the negotiations we had with the US. First of all, enrichment of up to 60% is illegal. It is still within the framework of NPT and our peaceful plan. We did it for certain purposes, for medical purposes."
