Iran Reveals New Atomic Work
Iran has begun installing 6,000 new centrifuges at its uranium-enrichment plant, President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad said on Tuesday, April 8, 2008. Ahmadinejad told a televised event to mark Iran's National Day of Nuclear Technology that Tehran had defeated its Western foes. The US said the move showed once again that Tehran intended to ignore UN Security Council demands to halt "sensitive nuclear work," and France suggested major powers may have to toughen sanctions on the Islamic republic.
