Iran says Rubio's uranium enrichment comment is inaccurate
A senior Iranian nuclear official has responded to recent comments by US Secretary of State Marco Rubio, saying his statement about uranium enrichment was incorrect.
Behrouz Kamalvandi, deputy head of Iran’s Atomic Energy Organization, said that several countries enrich uranium without possessing nuclear weapons. “Countries like Belgium, the Netherlands, South Korea, Japan, Argentina, and Germany conduct uranium enrichment and do not have nuclear weapons,” he told Iranian media.
“It is unfortunate that the US secretary of state made such a statement without proper knowledge,” Kamalvandi said.
Rubio said last week, “The only countries in the world that enrich uranium are the ones that have nuclear weapons,” in remarks that drew criticism in Tehran.
