US President Donald Trump earlier said he did not want Iran to have any uranium enrichment at all, even for civilian purposes.

“Not 20%, 30%, they always want 20%, 30%, they want it for civilian, you know, for civil. I think it’s uncivil,” he said.

Nowhere in the article does it mention that weapons grade uranium needs to be enriched to over 90%. 20-30% is for high capacity, or compact nuclear reactors. It's for energy production...not weapons.
