Iran nuclear official says domestically-made centrifuges to be unveiled soon

Iran plans to start using three new centrifuges for enriching uranium, a nuclear official tells the semi-official Fars news.

“We will soon witness the unveiling of three other generations of new centrifuges,” special assistant to the Atomic Energy Organization of Iran (AEOI) head Ali Asqar Zare’an is quoted as saying.

He says Iran’s atomic agency will roll out three generations of the homemade centrifuges “in the near future.”

Iran has steadily increased its breaches of the crumbling nuclear accord as it pushes its European partners to find a way around US sanctions that have kept it from selling oil abroad and crippled the Iranian economy.
