Iran has started enriching uranium once again. Tehran is doing this work in its underground Natanz Plant. For this, Iran is using an advanced centrifuge called IR-4. This has been reported by the watchdog of the United Nations, which monitors nuclear programs. In this way, Iran is once again violating the 2015 Nuclear Deal (2015 Nuclear Deal) with major institutions including the US.
In recent times, Iran has stepped up its nuclear activities to increase pressure on the new US President Joe Biden. Tehran is constantly creating tension with the US by violating the nuclear deal. The intention behind doing this is to bring America to the negotiating table. In fact, in 2018, former US President Donald Trump took the country out of the deal and banned Iran again.
Iran engaged in underground uranium enrichment
Iran has been violating the nuclear deal ever since Trump trumped the US out of the agreement. Last year Iran moved three advanced centrifuges from the upper part of the plant to the plant’s underground fuel enrichment plant (FEP). It is already engaged in underground promotion through IR-2m centrifuges. Under the nuclear deal, Iran was allowed to promote through the first-generation IR-1 machine.
What the IAEA said in its report
The International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) said in its report, on 15 March 2021, the agency verified that Iran has begun using 174 IR-4 centrifuges already installed on the FEP with natural UF6 cascades. The agency’s reference to UF6 was from uranium hexafluoride. The method by which uranium is added to centrifuges for enrichment. The report said that Iran has planned to install IR-4 centrifuges in the FEP, but it has not started yet.
