In defiance of the US:
The Islamic Republic today (Monday) operated a third cluster of advanced uranium enrichment centers, at the underground nuclear facility located near the southwestern town of Netanz, the International Atomic Energy Agency reported.
According to a report by the organization entrusted with overseeing Tehran's nuclear facilities, the country has begun pumping UF6 gas into Ir-2m hubs, the regional ones under the nuclear agreement signed by Iran, in blatant violation of the agreement.
The agency's report was published by the Reuters news agency, where it was claimed that the new move would allow Iran to enrich uranium to a level higher than 20 percent, and even more, as is the regime in Tehran that it intends to do. It was further reported that a new cluster of 174 more hubs had already been installed at the underground enrichment plant, in Natanz, but no order had yet been given to operate it.
