Iran began using advanced centrifuges to increase uranium volume


(PTI) Tehran, Ta. September 7, 2019, Saturday

Iran is using advanced centrifuges to enrich uranium by breaking the 2015 nuclear agreement. An Iranian spokeswoman cautioned that Europe had little time left to introduce new terms to defend the agreement.

However, Iran's Atomic Energy Organization has said it will honor the promises made to UN inspectors visiting the Nuclear site. It is worth mentioning that Britain, France and Germany are trying to save the 2015 agreement with Iran. They are also trying to ease US sanctions on Iran.

Tensions have escalated between the United States and Iran since last year, when US President Donald Trump announced a withdrawal from the 2015 agreement with Iran. In the past one year, the United States has announced several sanctions on Iran.

In June this year, relations between the United States and Iran had become so bad that the war between the two countries could have broken out at any time. The United States canceled the air strike at the last minute. Earlier, Iran had smashed America's drone.

Iran's Atomic Energy Organization said today that it has activated 20 IR-4 and 20 IR-6 centrifuges. We have taken this action as part of our decision to revoke the commitments made during the 2015 agreement.

Informing about this at a press conference in Tehran, Iran's Atomic Energy Organization said the capacity of the machine was many times larger than previous machines.

It is worth mentioning that in the 2015 Joint Comprehensive Plan for Action (JCPOA), Iran was allowed only IR-1 centrifuge. Iran has said that the UN agency overseeing the nuclear program can review it and Iran will withdraw from its nuclear program only when other countries around the world implement it. Iran's Atomic Energy Organization spokesman Behroz Kamalwandi said the centrifuge machines will help increase the amount of uranium.
