Iran: Advanced Enrichment Centrifuges Installed

February 13th, 2013 1:21 pm Associated Press

TEHRAN, Iran (AP) — Iran’s nuclear chief says his country has begun installing a new generation of uranium enrichment centrifuges at its main facility making nuclear fuel.

The announcement coincided with talks Wednesday with senior U.N. nuclear inspectors seeking to expand probes into suspected weapons-related tests. It also could add pressure to planned negotiations later this month between Iran and world powers.

The official IRNA news agency quotes Fereidoun Abbasi as saying that Iran began installing the new centrifuges at Natanz site in central Iran about a month ago. He says they only will be used to produce low-level enriched uranium.

But advanced centrifuges can vastly increase Iran’s pace of enrichment, which the West fears could be eventually turned into warhead-grade material. Iran insists it wants nuclear fuel only for energy reactors and research.

    Anybody checking on Israel’s program ? Anyone pushing them to the same inspections they’ve fear mongered us into pushing onto Iran over its Program ? Anyone verified whether its 200 or is it 300 Nuke bombs the Israeli’s have ?

    Anyone talking about the problem all this blind support and backing of Israel’s unfair actions just on this one subject has cost the USA in loss of good will / influence as a fair and impartial middle east peace broker ? let alone Israel’s Illegal settlements and etc and on and on and on ?

    Its High time the US Citizens had a really open and frank discussion about the true cost of Israel’s intransigence in the Middle East to our USA Tax payers interests. We need to be putting a whole lot of daylight between us and their actions until they stop stealing Palestinians land set up for their homeland from the same organization that set up Israels Homeland. Is’rael’s far right leadership fear mongering has won them the loss of attention on their Illegal settlement building that has proposed and approved around 10,000 units over the last 18 months or less.

    Israel’s lobby was squarelylined up and pushing behind the scenes the Iraq war, right along with their cohorts the Neo Cons led by William Kristol’s think tank group “THE PROJECT FOR THE NEW AMERICAN CENTURY”. The group planned these wars including Iran back in the later 90′s under Clinton and he wouldn’t go along, then came 9-11 which gave them the excuse to go forward under the dummy Bush and his boss Cheney. Approximately 30 to 40 members of that group became Bushes War team and a great share of them were dual citizens of Israel and the USA Please imagine the reaction to just five dual citizens from any other nation pushing wars from within our government. Some of those same armchair warriors are the ones pushing now for war with Iran.

    Wake up people, there’s far more to this than meets the eye, read RJ Rosenberg , Mondoweiss and Jewish Voice for Peace, Read the Israeli Paper Haaretz news, these Jewish writers all tell it like it is and the above came from facts they expose in their articles.
