TEHRAN (Dispatches) -- The Atomic Energy Organization of Iran (AEOI) will install new generations of IR2M and IR6 centrifuges at the Fordow and Natanz nuclear facilities, an official says.
The installation of the centrifuges will be completed within the time limit set by the Iranian parliament and gas will be injected to the machines, spokesman for the National Security and Foreign Policy Committee of the parliament Abolfazl Amoui said.
Based on the law, the AEOI should also produce 120 kg of 20 percent enriched uranium within a year, he said.
In December, the parliament passed "Iran’s Strategic Action Plan to Counter Sanctions” which obliges the government to further reduce compliance with the 2015 nuclear deal, also known as the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA), unless the U.S. lifts sanctions against the Islamic Republic.
Iran has scaled down its compliance as per two articles of the nuclear deal, surpassing JCPOA-mandated limits on its uranium enrichment level and on its stockpiles of heavy water and low-enriched uranium.
The Islamic Republic has also lifted JCPOA limitations on its nuclear research and development activities.
