Ahmadinejad: Iran Added 3,000 More Centrifuges
2012-02-16
(Naharnet) - Iran announced new strides in its nuclear program on Wednesday, in a defiant blow to U.S. and EU pressure to rein in its atomic activities and amid signs of an increasingly vicious covert war with Israel over the issue.

President Mahmoud Short Round Ahmadinejad unveiled on state television
... and if you can't believe state television who can you believe?
what was described as Iran's first domestically produced, 20-percent enriched nuclear fuel for Tehran's research reactor.

He also said 3,000 more centrifuges had been added to his country's uranium enrichment effort.

And Ahmadinejad said that uranium exploration in Iran had been stepped up and a new yellowcake processing factory would be "pre-launched" next month.

Officials said new-generation centrifuges had been installed at Iran's Natanz nuclear facility that are able to produce three times more enriched uranium than previous models.
Bomb them now. Friday before the start of the Sabbath would be nice, for the sake of the Orthodox missiliers.
The developments underlined Tehran's determination to forge ahead with nuclear activities despite tough sanctions from the West -- and despite speculation that Israel or the United States could be months from launching military strikes against Iran.

Iran portrayed the advances as evidence it was only interested in peaceful nuclear goals, under the slogan "nuclear energy for all, nuclear weapons for none."
