Report: Tehran Will Start Using Fastest Centrifuges When Deal Takes Effect
(Times of Israel) Iran will begin using its latest generation IR-8 centrifuges as soon as its nuclear deal with the world powers goes into effect, Iran's foreign minister told members of parliament on Tuesday, Iran's semi-official Fars news agency reported. The report makes a mockery of the world powers' much-hailed framework agreement with Iran, since such a move would dramatically accelerate Iran's progress to the bomb. Iran said its IR-8 centrifuges enrich uranium 20 times faster than the IR-1 centrifuges it currently uses.
