Natanz plant - Iran - tripled uranium-enriching centrifuges




Iran has tripled the number of higher uranium enrichment centrifuges at its Natanz underground plant, to more than 600 in the past three months. Diplomats supposed that the equipment could be used in a nuclear weaponry program. International Atomic Energy Agency experts visiting the site were also indecisive about their working ability, as they were not permitted to get a close enough look.

According to nuclear expert Mark Hibbs of the Carnegie Endowment think-tank, the number of centrifuges that Iran can make depends on whether it has all the necessary parts and materials. The United States and the international community remain dedicated to maintaining force on the Iranian regime until it fully addresses concerns about its nuclear program.

Iran and a group of international negotiators known as the P5+1 held their latest round of nuclear talks in Kazakhstan previous this month. Still, the meeting failed to produce a breakthrough.
