Considering you just lied about Iranian nuclear stats,....
You have an interesting definition of lies. But thank you for pointing out that Iran has 277 years worth of fuel, not 193.

Palestinians are well within their rights to use violence against those illegally occupying their lands....
You really don't understand how centrifuges work...increasing purity of uranium is a stepped process. You keep reprocessing the output until you reach the desired enrichment level. The newer ones can do it faster that is all....
As part of the deal Iran handed almost all its highly enriched uranium to Russia. This was completed in Dec 2015 :

today they are only allowed to stockpile 600KG of nuclear fuel. So what you say is simply not correct and I would ask that you post a source of this info.
Do you know how long 600 kg of Uranium will last? A typical reactor uses slightly over 1 kg per year so they don't need enrichment for a long, long time. By the time all that U-235 was used, we will be looking at fission reactors as antiquated technology.
Exactly the problem. Iran could easily enrich enough Uranium to reactor grade with just a couple hundred old centrifuges even if they ever build more commercial reactors.
While I realize that was a lame attempt at sarcasm, you should believe me.

1000 MW reactor uses 27 tons of nuclear fuel each year, where on earth did you get 1kg/year?

Sure they can, but it will take quite a long time. ....
According to the doc you linked to, its 88 kg of fuel, not 300 kg as you claimed.
You were caught lying about the numbers.
Yes, raw fuel including the non-reactive isotopes. The number 290 kg is of actual fissile material.
Annual fissile material consumption of this reactor is about 1 005 kg.

Your accusations of lying are insane.
They have 88kg in final form and the equivalent of 202 kg in gaseous form that has already been through the centrifuges. That means they already have 290 kg worth of enriched uranium.
https://www.theguardian.com/world/2017/aug/31/iran-nuclear-deal-trump-unThe International Atomic Energy Agency said that Iran’s stockpile of low-enriched uranium is 88.4kg (about 195lb), less than a third of the maximum allowed under the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA), the official name of the 2015 agreement. Under the agreement, Iran accepted limits on its nuclear programme in exchange for sanctions relief. The current stockpile is just over 1% of the pre-agreement level.

You are confusing enriched, with HIGHLY enriched. These are very different cats. They will have more then 300kg , fuel in their reactors is not considered "stockpile" as it has entered the fuel cycle and cannot be further processed. 300kg of 4 % fuel can only yield about 8-11kg of HE uranium after a long, long process.

I don't get why BC has to come here and birch about Iran. Iran hasn't invaded another country for over 300 years. And israel is assassinating a lot of the nuclear scientists in Iran. Now that's called restraint
Not at all. Iran claims that they need 25,000 centrifuges to power enrich fuel for their commercial reactor. That's just nonsense. A couple hundred centrifuges would be more than enough to maintain a stockpile of 3.76% enriched fuel. Even better they can use a CANDU style reactor that works with natural or slightly enriched uranium (under 1%).
There is only one practical purpose for that many centrifuges.
