Ya'alon: Iran Seeks to Enrich Uranium to 90 Percent
(Israel Hayom) Shlomo Cesana and Lior Yacoby - Iran has asked the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) to allow it to enrich uranium to 90%, Israeli Vice Prime Minister and Strategic Affairs Minister Moshe Ya'alon said recently, and warned that "Iran's nuclear development is clearly intended for military purposes." 90% enrichment is an indication of weapons-grade uranium. During a visit to Washington last week, Ya'alon learned that Turkey was secretly helping Iran avoid American and European sanctions. Turkish companies have been helping Tehran export oil financed by Turkish banks, Ya'alon said.
