...Natanz. That's because the uranium already enriched there would have to be reprocessed to a far higher degree of enrichment to create bomb matériel.) The position adopted until now by the U.S. and its European allies and Israel is that Iran should not be permitted to develop even "breakout capacity" of the type maintained by, for example, Japan - i.e., a peaceful nuclear-energy infrastructure that could be quickly converted to bomb production should the government choose to weaponize...
