Iran starts injecting uranium gas into centrifuges at Fordow plant

Iran has started to inject uranium gas into
centrifuges at its underground Fordow nuclear facility, state TV reported on
Wednesday, as part of Tehran’s fourth step to scale back its commitments to a
2015 nuclear deal with major powers.
“With the presence of inspectors from International
Atomic Energy Agency, Iran started injecting (uranium) gas into centrifuges in
Fordow,” TV reported.
An International Atomic Energy Agency spokesman
confirmed on Wednesday that inspectors were present.
“We are aware of the media reports today related to
Fordow. Agency inspectors are on the ground in Iran and they will report any
relevant activities to IAEA headquarters in Vienna," the spokesman said in
a statement.
Iran's nuclear deal with major powers does not allow
enrichment at Fordow.
