Iran's top negotiator has said nuclear enrichment can begin within 24 hours if the nation's leaders take issue with the political process in Washington.
Abbas Araghchi told an Iranian audience that Iran can return again to 20 percent enrichment in less than one day and can convert the nuclear material again.
According to the Washington Times, he said that whenever Iran feels the other side is not following through with its commitments, they can move forward with their nuclear programme.
