Iran Has Enriched Uranium to 27%

Iran was already making the world nervous with the revelation it was enriching uranium to 20% at its Fordo facility. But now the IAEA says it has found traces of uranium enriched up to 27% at Fordo, according to a confidential report to be released to IAEA board members today. That's still well below the 90% needed for nuclear weapons, but it's a step closer to that threshold, reports the AP. The diplomats who spoke to the AP about the report caution that the higher enrichment may not be intentional; it's possible technicians over-enriched it by accident as the new facility was getting started. Talks in Baghdad aimed at getting Iran to reel in its nuclear enrichment program ended without any agreement.
