| Iran says starts work on new enrichment plant |
| 2010-04-20 |
| [Al Arabiya Latest] President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad has approved the sites for new uranium enrichment plants in Iran, a close aide said on Monday, despite growing world pressure to stop the sensitive nuclear work. "The president has confirmed the designated location of a new nuclear site and on his order the building process has begun," Ahmadinejad's senior adviser Mojtaba Samareh Hashemi told Iran's ILNA news agency. "New locations on which the plants should be constructed this year have been determined and initial construction is underway," Samareh-Hashemi was quoted as saying. He said that the designs of the new plants were currently under study but did not specify how many new facilities had been approved. Defying Western pressure to curb its sensitive nuclear work, Iran announced in November it planned to expand its enrichment activities by building 10 new sites. The announcement was condemned by the United states and its European allies. Iran currently enriches uranium at a plant in the central city of Natanz in defiance of repeated U.N. Security Council ultimatums to suspend the sensitive process. |
