And if there is 400 pounds, that's enough for 8 Hiroshimas.

Also, if it is 60% enriched, that's way way beyond medical or energy use enrichment and is pretty close to the 90% needed for weapons grade. Letting them get to 60% would have never happened if Trump hadn't have killed the nuclear deal.

3-5% enriched Uranium is what's in nuclear power plants.

Anything above 20% is considered highly enriched and that's because at 20% you've done 90% of the effort needed for weapons grade enrichment. 60% is very close to weapons grade even though the number seems a ways away from 90.

That 60% number is scary if true. And what choice does Iran have now but to build a nuclear weapon? Without one they are defensless.
