Foreign media said that Iran’s Atomic Energy Organization spokesman Behrouz Kamalwandi said that if the Iran nuclear agreement reached in 2015 is abandoned, Iran has the ability to launch a nuclear bomb at Fordow within three days. The facility resumes production of uranium enriched to a purity of 20. Kamalwandi said on May 27: "Currently, equipment such as pumps and monitors at the Fordow nuclear facility are ready. It is actually like a car that has been started and ready to drive."
He continued: "The enrichment of uranium to 20 purity can be carried out very quickly. We can start the enrichment of uranium to 20 purity within a maximum of two or three days."
Kamalwandi said: "We don't have any problems technically. We have been advancing at a normal pace in the past, but if we want to speed up, we can develop a uranium enrichment capacity of 100,000 separate work units in a year and a half and modify the core of the reactor."
Kamalwandi added that Iran has gone through a long process of developing civilian nuclear technology. When building the Arak heavy water reactor core, Tehran spent five years planning and designing it. He said Iran can now rebuild the Arak heavy water reactor core in just a year and a half because the planning and infrastructure are already in place. Kamalvandi explained that if the Iran nuclear deal collapses, it won’t take long for Iran to restore all its past nuclear capabilities.
The report said that he also said that Iran decided to continue to produce and sell excess heavy water. At the same time, he accused Washington of trying to dissuade foreign countries from buying Tehran's heavy water.
Kamalwandi said: "We have sold part of the excess heavy water, and now we have very good customers. Of course, the United States has contacted some customers and told them not to buy heavy water from Iran, but There are still some customers who ignore U.S. demands."
He continued: "The world heavy water market is crucial to us, and we can sell all the excess regardless of whether the 2015 nuclear deal survives. of heavy water, this is one of our plans”
