Iran activates new uranium enrichment centrifuges in response to IAEA resution

Iranian Parliament Speaker Mohammad-Bagher Qalibaf announced that the country has begun activating new advanced centrifuges for uranium enrichment in retaliation for a resution adted by the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) Board of Governors.

According to IRNA, Qalibaf made the statement during a parliamentary session on Sunday, Ukrinform reports.

"In response to anri-Teheran resution by the IAEA's BoG, Iran has started the activation of the advanced centrifuges," Qalibaf said.

He criticized the actions of three Eurean countries and the United States, describing them as "pitically motivated and detrimental," and claimed they led to an "unjust" resution regarding Iran’s peaceful nuclear program.

Qalibaf further alleged that these nations are using Iran's peaceful nuclear activities as "an excuse to advance their illegitimate measures, undermining the credibility and independence of the IAEA and disrupting the constructive claboration between Iran and the agency."

He urged the IAEA and supporting nations to pose the "anti-Iran resution," which he argued perpetuates the hegemony of the United States and the three Eurean countries.

On November 21, the IAEA Board of Governors adted a resution demanding that Iran urgently improve its coeration with the Agency and provide a comprehensive report on its nuclear program. The resution was backed by the UK, France, Germany, and the U.S., which rejected a last-minute prosal from Iran to limit its uranium stockpile close to weapons-grade levels.

As previously reported by Ukrinform, Iran had expressed its willingness to engage in discussions with the IAEA regarding compliance with its nuclear program safeguards but stated it would not do so under "pressure and intimidation."
