Iranian Politician Alireza Zakani: Tens of Thousands of Centrifuges Damaged in Natanz Blast
Memri ^ | Apr 14, 2021

Iranian politician Alireza Zakani, head of the Majles Research Center said in the wake of the April 11 blast in the Natanz nuclear facility that Iran must increase uranium enrichment to more than 60%. He made these remarks in an interview that aired on Ofogh TV (Iran) on April 12, 2021. Zakani said that Iran needs uranium enriched to 56% in order to fuel the propellants in submarines and for “other purposes.” He also said that uranium enrichment to more than 60% is what increases Iran’s bargaining ability and it is also what Iran needs. Zakani said that the 20% enrichment in Fordow can be quickly directed in a way that would be “tangible” to the West. He stated: they will realize that they cannot toy with us. He said that Iran has become a “haven for spies,” and the fact that Obama had agreed to pay $1.7 billion in exchange for the release of American journalist Jason Rezaian is a message to “all other spies” that their price is high and they should betray their country. Rezaian, an Iranian-American journalist was imprisoned in Iran on espionage charges. For more about Alireza Zakani, see MEMRITV clips Nos. 8519, and 7253.

And if they change from wood to metal...that might be even more deadly...

I’m thinking that they need 20% to be used for fuel and 95% for weapons.

Maybe. I was going by this Getting to the Good Stuff (Uranium Enrichment). Either way they don't need 56% or greater to fuel a reactor. I think he was just taunting us with that remark.
