Iran Enriching Uranium with New Equipment

VIENNA (Reuters) — Iran has started enriching uranium at its underground Natanz plant with a second type of advanced centrifuge, the IR-4, IAEA said in a report reviewed by Reuters on Tuesday, in a further breach of Tehran’s deal with major powers.

Last year Iran started moving three cascades, or clusters, of different advanced models of centrifuge from an above-ground plant at Natanz to its below-ground Fuel Enrichment Plant (FEP). It is already enriching underground with IR-2m centrifuges. The nuclear deal only lets it enrich there with first-generation IR-1 machines.

However, Iran has indicated that it now plans to install a second cascade of IR-4 centrifuges at the FEP but installation of that cascade has yet to begin, the report said. Iran has already increased the number of IR-2m machines, which are far more efficient than the IR-1, installed at the underground plant.

  • Wish Trump would just drop dead already. Eat more McDonalds Trump.

  • Trump and McConnell are in a restaurant

    They are discussing their plans to invade Iran. A man walks by their table, intrigued by their conversation and asks them what they are talking about.

    Trump explains to the man, “We’re going to invade Iran and kill 10 million Iranians and one bicycle repairman.”

    The man exclaims, “Why would you kill a bicycle repairman!”

    Trump turns back to McConnell and tells him, “See, I told you no one would care about the 10 million Iranians!”
