Iran continues violation of nuclear deal by activating centrifuges, accuse Israeli and Gulf media

Vienna/Tehran: – Kazem Gharib Abadi, Iran’s ambassador and permanent representative to the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA), announced, ‘Iran has activated new centrifuges in the Natanz and Fordo nuclear plants. More centrifuges will be installed in these projects, even in the future.’ Media from Israel and Gulf have started criticising that the changes in the Iranian nuclear projects are a blatant violation of the 2015 nuclear deal.

In the confidential report submitted to the IAEA, Iran has said that the second phase of centrifuges has been activated in its nuclear projects. The IAEA refrained from reacting to the news, published in the international media, regarding this. But Iran’s ambassador in the IAEA, Gharib Abadi, openly gave the information regarding the centrifuges.

Gharib Abadi informed, ‘Out of these, there are 348 RR2M centrifuges in two cascades at the Natanz nuclear project. These RR2M centrifuges have four times more capacity than the RR1 centrifuges used in UF6.’ These advanced centrifuges are used in uranium enrichment.

Iran informed that RR6 centrifuges had been activated in the Fordo underground nuclear project. Iran clarified that in the coming times, more centrifuges would be activated in the Fordo project. As per the nuclear deal signed with the western countries, there is a limitation that Uranium cannot be enriched in the Natanz and Fordo projects beyond a particular level. But in the last month, Iran has violated the provisions of the nuclear deal. The Israeli and the Gulf media is criticising these violations carried out by Iran.

Meanwhile, it is being claimed that Iran is trying to pressurise the Biden administration in the United States by activating centrifuges and carrying out Uranium enrichment. The Biden administration also has increased its movements to establish a dialogue with Iran.
