Israel Energy Minister Yuval Steinitz on Sunday described Iran’s declared increase in uranium enrichment as a slight increase, but accused Tehran of breaking internationally agreed restrictions on its nuclear projects and moving forward toward a bomb.
Steinitz, a member of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s security cabinet, told Israel’s YNet television that “Iran has started – and even though it is a small increase at the moment – it has started to increase the level of enrichment and break the restrictions imposed on it in this regard”.
“That means … it is ignoring the agreed red lines and that it has started its march … a march that is not simple towards the production of nuclear weapons,” Israel Energy Minister.
