Ahmadinejad announces expansion of nuclear program

NCRI – Ahmadinejad, Iranian regime's president. announced the start of the installation of 6,000 new centrifuges at Natanz, state-run radio and television reported today.

"Today the process of installing 6,000 advanced centrifuges started … I will give further details about them tonight," the state-run news agency ISNA quoted Ahmadinejad as saying at Natanz in central Iran.

Last week, diplomats in Vienna said that Iranian regime was installing advanced enrichment centrifuges at the underground Natanz facility, accelerating activity that could give Iran the means to make atom bombs in the future if it chose to.

Ahmadinejad's remarks are the latest in defiance of implementation of the UN Security Council resolutions calling for suspension of activities that could be used to provide fuel for nuclear bomb.

The Natanz nuclear site is one of the two secret Iranian regime's nuclear sites that were revealed by the Iranian Resistance in August 2002. The revelations triggered International Atomic Energy Agency inspections of the Iranian regime's secret nuclear program.

On February 24, quoting Ahamadinejad’s remarks, the official news agency IRNA said, “The nuclear crisis in its new form began in the beginning of the summer of 2002, when the Monafeqin [the term used by the Iranian regime to describe the people's Mojahedin Organization of Iran (PMOI/MEK)], published a report on Natanz and Arak nuclear sites. The International Atomic Energy Agency got involved… and resolutions were adopted one after the other.”
