Iran’s President on April 14 called Tehran’s decision to enrich uranium up to 60% after saboteurs attacked a nuclear site “an answer to your evilness,” linking the incident to ongoing talks in Vienna over its tattered nuclear deal with world powers.

His country has twice preemptively bombed Mideast nations to stop their atomic programmes.
