In Isfahan Iran’s nuclear fuel enriched to 60%, therefore near bomb-grade, is thought to be stored. Uranium enriched to 60% is not needed for the civilian use of nuclear energy. From 60%, the enrichment can quickly reach 90%, the purity needed for a nuclear weapon. Iran clearly wants to get a nuclear weapon. Nevertheless, the country would still have to build and miniaturize a nuclear bomb to be placed on a special warhead. According to specialists, that could
