On 13 April, Iran announced its intention to enrich uranium to 60 per cent U-235. This was characterized by Iran as a response to a sabotage of its vast underground enrichment cascades at Natanz two days before. The move comes against the backdrop of sensitive negotiations happening in Vienna aimed at rescuing the 2015 Iran nuclear deal, the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA), and bringing the United States back into compliance with the deal.
Is there any reason you can think of for Iran wanting the US back in the JCPOA? Any?
If not here are some. legally binding relief from crushing economic sanctions, unfreeze billions of dollars in foreign assets, and normalize its international banking and oil exports.
You were correct with the 60%, but with further research done I found that you can even do it with 20%.
The IAEA considers HEU, which is defined as uranium enriched to 20 percent or greater, as a “direct use” material, meaning it “can be used for the manufacture of nuclear explosive devices without transmutation or further enrichment.”

All that being said you were still wrong with this statement. "They are enriching uranium for weapons." There are research reasons, medical reasons, even as shown political reasons. Your statement only gives one possible one that may be true. Saying with certainty that with no evidence they were actually trying to make a nuclear weapon is false. Is it possible sure, just as other answers are possible.
Which would you have rather happened, the US enters back into the JCPOA or where we are now?
