Britain Tells UN Monitors of Active Iran Nuclear Procurement
(Reuters) Louis Charbonneau - Britain informed a UN sanctions panel on April 20 of an active Iranian nuclear procurement network linked to two blacklisted firms, Iran's Centrifuge Technology Company (TESA) and Kalay Electric Company (KEC). Iran has a long history of illicit nuclear procurement. The existence of such a network could add to Western concerns over whether Tehran can be trusted to adhere to a nuclear deal. In addition, the panel said an unnamed member state reported that an Iranian entity had recently attempted to acquire compressors, a key component in the uranium enrichment process, using false end-user certificates in an attempt to evade controls.
