Iran reportedly accelerates nuclear enrichment, boosts uranium output | One America News Network

On Sunday, a top official at Iran’s Atomic Energy Organization said the number of nuclear centrifuges at the Fordow nuclear site has exceeded 1,000 units. Iran reportedly operates seven generations of enrichment devices, and is following through on a threat to increase production. The International Atomic Energy Agency has confirmed Tehran’s claims, said Iran’s nuclear program has accelerated. However, United Nations officials say it’s unclear if Iran can produce weapons-grade nuclear fuel.

Both requests were approved. MIT fil...
