Iran will begin injecting gas into centrifuges at its Fordow uranium-enrichment facility in its latest step away from the 2015 nuclear accord it struck with world powers, President Hassan Rouhani said Tuesday.
In a televised address, Rouhani said the Atomic Energy Organization of Iran would begin the new measures Wednesday, feeding gas to more than 1,000 centrifuges installed at the plant.
Iran’s envoy to the Vienna-based International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) later announced that a letter has been sent to inform the United Nations nuclear watchdog that uranium hexafluoride gas would be injected into centrifuges at Fordow, starting the process usually used to produce enriched uranium.
