State Department: Iran has 'no credible civilian justification' for uranium enrichment

US authorities consider that Iran has "no credible civilian justification" for uranium enrichment up to 60%, a State Department spokesperson told Fox News Digital, according to Report.

"Iran's nuclear escalation is all the more concerning at a time when Iran as well as Iran-backed militant groups and Iran’s proxies continue their dangerous and destabilizing activities in the region," the State Department spokesperson said. "This includes the latest drone attack against US personnel in Iraq, Houthi attacks against commercial shipping vessels in the Red Sea as well as Iran’s latest armed-drone attack against a chemical tanker in the Indian ocean."
