Iran expands nuclear capacities; faces criticism: IAEA

The Hindu  

Iran has started up new cascades of advanced centrifuges and plans to install others in the coming weeks after facing criticism over its nuclear programme, the United Nations' atomic watchdog said Friday. Spinning up new centrifuges further advances Iran's nuclear programme, which already enriches uranium at near-weapons-grade levels and boasts a stockpile enough for several nuclear bombs if it chose to pursue them. Watch | 50 years ago, India conducted its first ever nuclear test The IAEA said its inspectors verified Monday that Iran had begun feeding uranium into three cascades of advanced IR-4 and IR-6 centrifuges at its Natanz enrichment facility. Since the collapse of Iran's 2015 nuclear deal with world powers following the U.S.'s unilateral withdraw from the accord in 2018, it has pursued nuclear enrichment just below weapons-grade levels.
