TEHRAN: Iran’s top nuclear official said Wednesday the production of nuclear centrifuge equipment would continue for the time being, despite a previous promise by Iran to the UN nuclear watchdog to stop all activities related to uranium enrichment. Hassan Rowhani said authorities had yet to reach an agreement with three private sector production facilities involved in making centrifuge parts for them to halt their work in line with a pledge to the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA).
