Iran activated hundreds of advanced nuclear enrichment machines Monday after the U.S. increased pressure on Iran’s oil industry, a move Iran hopes will compel U.S. to comply with a new UN nuclear agreement.
Iran began injecting gas into over 500 advanced centrifuges, machines that enrich uranium to the point it becomes explosive, as part of the “Strategic Action Plan to Lift Sanctions and Protect Iranian Nation’s Interests,” Behrouz Kamalvandi, a spokesperson the Atomic Energy Organization of Iran (AEOI), said Monday. He announced the decision hours after the U.S. levied sanctions against Iranian companies accused of funneling tens of millions in Iranian petroleum products to East Asia.
