Iran Says It Is Entitled to Enrich Uranium to 90 Percent
(Fars-Iran) The head of the Atomic Energy Organization of Iran (AEOI), Ali Akbar Salehi, said Iran is entitled to enrich uranium to the level of 90%, and that Tehran plans to build four new nuclear plants with Russia's help. "We believe that we are entitled to any right that any NPT (Non-Proliferation Treaty) and (International Atomic Energy) Agency member has, which means that enrichment (of uranium) from 1% to 90% is our right," Salehi said in a televised interview on Sunday. He said that Iran has accepted limiting its enrichment program to the level of 5% only as a voluntary move, based on the Geneva deal between Tehran and the 5+1 group in November.
