This is the key component of a nuke weapon. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.reuters.com\/world\/middle-east\/iaea-report-chides-iran-undeclared-change-fordow-uranium-enrichment-set-up-2023-02-01\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">According<\/a> Reuters. Iran has the technological know-how to enrich uranium at these levels, which is sufficient to make bombs.<\/p>\n<p>Iran is suspected to have altered the nuclear centrifuges at the Fordow site to allow it to enrich uranium up to such high purity levels. The news comes less then a week following a suspected Israeli drone attack on an Iranian military facility located in Isfahan. This facility was thought to be a weapons storage depot. Iran has pledged revenge for the attack, setting the scene for a new war between Israel and Tehran. This news further complicates matters for the Biden administration&#8221;s efforts to revive the 2015 nuclear deal, which stalled as the Iranian government cracks down on anti-regime protests across the country.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;The attack against Isfahan is not going unanswered.&#8221; Mahmoud Abbaszadeh Meshkini, the spokesman for the Iranian parliament&#8221;A national security and international policy committee. <a href=\"https:\/\/en.mehrnews.com\/news\/196915\/Drone-attack-on-Isfahan-not-to-go-unanswered-MP\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><\/a> On Wednesday<\/p>\n<p>On Wednesday, Iranian military leaders stated that they are increasing defenses to counter future drone strikes like the one Israel is suspected of having conducted.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;The powerful Air Defense Force is ready to confront any threat in the safe skies of our beloved country using its new domestically built systems,&#8221;\u00a0Brigadier General Alireza Sabahifard was the commander for the Iranian Army&#8217;s Air Defense Forces. <a href=\"https:\/\/en.mehrnews.com\/news\/196883\/Iran-Air-Defense-Force-fully-prepared-to-counter-any-threat\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><\/a> Iran&#8221;s state-controlled news media.
