Iran Seeks to Buy Banned Carbon Fiber
[AP] George Jahn - Two diplomats say Iran's national car company Khodro planned to purchase large quantities of carbon fiber, which is under UN embargo because it is a component of advanced centrifuges used to enrich uranium. Iran has used carbon fiber in the rotors of new, advanced centrifuges known as the IR-2, IR-3 and IR-4, which spin uranium gas to produce enriched uranium. The UN prohibits sales of carbon fiber to Iran for any purpose.
