Reports: Iran quadruples production of low-enriched uranium
TEHRAN, Iran -- Iran quadrupled its uranium-enrichment production capacity amid tensions with the U.S. over Tehran's atomic program, nuclear officials said Monday, just after President Donald Trump and Iran's foreign minister traded threats and taunts on Twitter.
A rocket landed Sunday near the U.S. Embassy in the Green Zone of Iraq's capital of Baghdad, days after nonessential U.S. staff were ordered to evacuate from diplomatic posts in the country. No one was reported injured. Iraqi military spokesman Brig. Gen. Yahya Rasoul told The Associated Press that the rocket was believed to have been fired from eastern Baghdad, an area home to Iran-backed Shiite militias.
Before Iran's announcement, Trump tweeted:"If Iran wants to fight, that will be the official end of Iran. Never threaten the United States again!" Iranian Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif soon responded by tweeting that Trump had been"goaded" into"genocidal taunts." Zarif referenced both Alexander the Great and Genghis Khan as two historical leaders that Persia outlasted.
British Foreign Secretary Jeremy Hunt told journalists in Geneva that Iran should not doubt the U.S. resolve, warning that"if American interests are attacked, they will retaliate."
