Iran reportedly ramping up enrichment at Natanz
Iran is ramping up uranium enrichment at the Natanz nuclear facility, the site of a mysterious blast that allegedly targeted advanced centrifuges at the site, according to Bloomberg News.
The reports cites a document from the International Atomic Energy Agency, which says centrifuges are being moved from a pilot facility to a new area at Natanz.
Piping has been installed to accommodate higher volumes of enriched material produced by three new cascades, made up of 164 centrifuges each, the report states.
The move appears to violate the 2015 nuclear agreement, and may show that the alleged sabotage at the plant last month, widely attributed to Israel or the US, did not set back Iran’s nuclear program far.
