Iran is trying to expand 'uranium enrichment'...Despite the claim that "it's not nuclear," Western "sickness" [Now News]

Reuters reported on the 28th that Iran has notified the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) of its plan to install more than 6,000 more centrifuges for uranium enrichment.

Reuters said it had confirmed that the IAEA's confidential report contained this.

Prior to this, the IAEA Board of Directors passed a resolution on the 21st urging Iran to cooperate with inspections that are mandatory under the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT).

Iran says the purpose of expanding its uranium enrichment facilities is peaceful use and not nuclear weapons production, which the West does not believe.

The West points out that uranium 235 for nuclear weapons is about 90% pure, and there is no reason to increase the purity of uranium 235 to 60% as Iran does for peaceful use, and that it has never done so except in a nuclear weapons state.

According to the IAEA report, Iran will install 32 more "cascades," each consisting of 160 centrifuges, and add a large cascade of 1,152 high-performance IR-6 centrifuges.

Iran has two facilities to enrich uranium 235 to 60% purity: an underground plant in Fordo and a ground pilot plant in Natanz.According to the

report, Iran has completed the installation of the last two of 18 cascades of IR-2m centrifuges at its Natanz underground plant, all of which are planned to be operational.
