Iran tells UN it will hike uranium enrichment capacity
TEHRAN, June 5, 2018 (BSS/AFP) – Iran has notified the International
Atomic Energy Agency that it has launched a plan to increase its uranium
enrichment capacity, nuclear chief Ali Akbar Salehi said Tuesday.
“A letter was submitted to the agency yesterday regarding the start of
certain activities,” said Salehi, a vice president and head of the Iranian
Atomic Energy Organisation.
“If conditions allow, maybe tomorrow night at Natanz, we can announce the
opening of the centre for production of new centrifuges” for uranium
enrichment, he said, quoted by conservative news agency Fars.
