Iran will establish a third uranium enrichment facility and upgrade centrifuges to advanced IR-6 models in response to the IAEA Board of Governors' resolution, Atomic Energy Organization spokesman Behrouz Kamalvandi said Thursday.
“Their strategic mistake is believing political pressure can force Iran to retreat from its rightful positions,” Kamalvandi told state TV.
“We had warned that our actions would be adjusted accordingly.”
Enrichment “will significantly increase,” he added, as part of Iran’s response to what Tehran calls a politically motivated move by Western powers at the nuclear watchdog.
