FARS agency quotes Zarif, Salehi telling MPs theyll operate IR-8 centrifuges, a breach of US-published framework terms that would make a mockery of deal
Iran will begin using its latest generation IR-8 centrifuges as soon as its nuclear deal with the world powers goes into effect, Irans foreign minister and nuclear chief told members of parliament on Tuesday, according to Irans semi-official FARS news agency.
If accurate, the report makes a mockery of the world powers much-hailed framework agreement with Iran, since such a move clearly breaches the US-published terms of the deal, and would dramatically accelerate Irans potential progress to the bomb.
Iran has said that its IR-8 centrifuges enrich uranium 20 times faster than the IR-1 centrifuges it currently uses.
According to the FARS report, Irans foreign minister and nuclear chief both told a closed-door session of the parliament on Tuesday that the country would inject UF6 gas into the latest generation of its centrifuge machines as soon as a final nuclear deal goes into effect by Tehran and the six world powers.
It said that Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif and Atomic Energy Organization of Iran (AEOI) head Ali Akbar Salehi made the promise when they briefed legislators on the framework agreement, and claimed the move was permitted under the terms of the deal.
The AEOI chief and the foreign minister presented hopeful remarks about nuclear technology R&D which, they said, have been agreed upon during the talks (with the six world powers), and informed that gas will be injected into IR8 (centrifuge machines) with the start of the (implementation of the) agreement, FARS quoted Javad Karimi Qoddousi, a member of the parliaments National Security and Foreign Policy Commission, as saying.

Of *course* they will, and Obama will probably apologize to them and send them more UF6...
It’s just “research.” Nothing to see here... Will this even be reported in the American state run media?
Time’s a’ wastin’ you backwater goat humpers! 0bama only has your back for another 580 days!
*SPIT*
UNEXPECTED......
I suspect stuxnet 2.0 and several Saudi nukes from Pakistan or from Dimona may throw a monkey wrench into the ayatollahs’ plans!
It would be interesting if a nuke went off in their main plant, and was termed an accident by scientists over-reaching.
This media we have. The Keystone cops on acid.
“The Keystone cops on acid.”
Preferable.
Yes, decidedly so...
Yes, that would be so sad, a real tragedy.
Smiles...
If they don’t already, they’ll have several warheads by the end of Summer. The testing in North Korea cannot be ignored.
