Iran maintaining uranium enrichment in contravention of nuclear deal
The Iranian regime keeps violating the terms of the nuclear deal with Western countries one by one.
Iran has already
stopped abiding by any limits to uranium enrichment. It does not allow Atomic
Energy Agency inspectors to inspect its nuclear sites either.
New episode
The agency revealed
recently that Iran had resumed uranium enrichment in the underground facilities
of Natanz in Isfahan province.
The agency said Iran
plans to install new centrifuges at the Natanz facilities.
This comes as the
international community complains against Iran's failure to show abidance by
the terms of the nuclear deal with Western countries.
Some countries have
even warned against Iran's pursuit to possess a nuclear weapon.
Military
goals
The International
Atomic Energy Agency said Iran would use modernized centrifuges at the Natanz
facilities.
The new centrifuges, it
said, speed up the enrichment of Uranium for military purposes.
It added that this
accelerated enrichment of uranium violates the terms of the nuclear deal.
Iran started last year
the transfer of three enrichment facilities to underground locations in Natanz.
The nuclear deal with
western nations allows Iran to enrich uranium, using the first generation of
centrifuges only.
Khamenei's
justifications
Iranian Supreme Guide
Ali Khamenei posted a video on his Twitter account this month, in which he
justified his country's uranium enrichment activities by saying that they do
not have any military objectives.
The enrichment, he
said, aims to produce clean and environment-friendly energy.
Khamenei said nuclear
energy would be necessary for the post-petroleum period.
