Ibrahim Rizai, spokesperson for Iran's National Security and Foreign Policy Commission in parliament, stated that his country would consider raising uranium enrichment levels to 90 percent in the event of an attack by the US. This statement escalates tensions surrounding Iran's nuclear program. Ninety percent enrichment is a level very close to the threshold of weapons-grade uranium. The rhetoric has significant potential to substantially increase military tensions in the region and the risk of nuclear proliferation.
