Iran released a photo Thursday of what appears to a badly fire-damaged factory where the country had touted the production of new centrifuges, The New York Times reports. The Atomic Energy Agency of Iran described the fire at the plant as an "incident." Last year, the Iranian government said that it was producing a new centrifuge that would allow it to enrich uranium 50 times faster than it was able to under the Obama-era nuclear deal. “If Iran isn't a threat to peace that demands a collective measure, I do not know what is,” Pompeo told the council Tuesday. Under that deal, Iran received sanction relief in return for limiting its nuclear production.
