Iran has begun enriching uranium with advanced centrifuges at its Ferdow plant, the United Nation’s nuclear watchdog agency said Wednesday.
The Iranian government started enriching uranium up to 20% purity using advanced IR-6 centrifuges, in violation of the 2015 international nuclear agreement to which Tehran remains a party. The enrichment cluster includes 166 of the advanced machines at the subterranean Ferdow site, Reuters reported.
