Iran changes nuclear plans: What's behind new enrichment strategy?

The International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) shared info about Irans new nuclear plans which include setting-up thousands of high-tech centrifuges at the Fordo and Natanz sites

The IAEAʼs latest update points to a notable shift: while Iran currently works with 60% uranium enrichment the new equipment will process at 5% — this change might show readiness for talks with other countries (even though no official statement confirms this)

The set-up of new machinery at these well-known facilities — which are deep underground and heavily protected; marks a big step in Irans nuclear development path but the lower enrichment level could mean they want to keep diplomatic doors open
