Iran Expanding Nuclear Effort, UN Nuclear Agency Reports

Iran was now operating or about to switch on roughly 1,000 centrifuges, the high-speed devices that enrich uranium, at its nuclear facility at Natanz. "They are installing faster than was commonly expected," said David Albright, a former inspector who is now president of the Institute for Science and International Security.
