new centrifuges to enrich uranium –

Iran will launch a series of new and advanced centrifuges to enrich uranium, in response to the International Atomic Energy Agency’s resolution censuring Tehran for poor cooperation. «The head of the Atomic Energy Organization of Iran has ordered to take effective measures», the Organization and the Foreign Ministry say in a joint note, «including the launch of a significant series of new and advanced centrifuges of various types”. But just two days ago, the director general of the IAEA, Rafael Grossi, welcomed the “concrete step” taken by Iran in limiting its stockpiles of enriched uranium. «I think this is a concrete step in the right direction. We have a fact that has been verified by ourselves,” Grossi told journalists in Vienna. «I attach importance to the fact that for the first time since Iran distanced itself from its past obligations, it is taking a different direction», Grossi’s words. Which completely clash with today’s announcement by Khamenei’s men, who are not taking any steps backwards on the nuclear program.
