Iran is raising pressure on U.S. President-elect Joe Biden with plans to install more advanced uranium-enriching centrifuges at an underground plant in breach of its deal with major powers, a U.N. nuclear watchdog report showed on Friday.

The confidential International Atomic Energy Agency report obtained by Reuters said Iran plans to install several more cascades, or clusters, of advanced IR-2m centrifuges in the underground plant at Natanz, which was apparently built to withstand aerial bombardment.

Iran’s nuclear deal with major powers says Tehran can only use first-generation IR-1 centrifuges, which are less efficient, at the underground plant and that those are the only machines with which Iran may accumulate enriched uranium. Iran recently moved one cascade of IR-2m machines underground at Natanz.

“In a letter dated 2 December 2020, Iran informed the Agency that the operator of the Fuel Enrichment Plant at Natanz ‘intends to start installation of three cascades of IR-2m centrifuge machines’ at FEP,” the IAEA’s report to its member states said. Iran has breached many of the deal’s core restrictions on its nuclear activities in response to U.S. President Donald Trump’s withdrawal from the agreement and his reimposition of crippling U.S. economic sanctions. Tehran says its breaches can quickly be reversed if Washington’s moves are undone.

Biden, who takes office on Jan. 20, has said he will bring the United States back into the deal if Iran resumes full compliance with its nuclear restrictions. That raises the prospect of a standoff over who should move first.

My advise to Iran is do not trust Biden and do not sign any useless deal which definitely will be breached by the next administration

The right doesnt care how many nuclear ballistic missiles NK has but woah! we cant let Iran have nukes! What a bunch of nonsense.

Lol. Biden has no idea what is happening beyond the steaming load he made in his pants

What pressure do you speak? Iran approved a law that prohibits visits to its nuclear plants. They go by the pump. The international community is deceived alone. And it is wrong as with North Korea.

Time for Stuxnet II.

The JCPOA is all ready to get reinstated.

Just send Hunter a check and all will be forgiven

Se os defensores da não proliferação de armas nucleares tem todo tipo de armas nucleares porque o IRAN não pode

No, it raises the prospect of just how much Biden will be giving to Iran.......................

He hasn't gotten into office yet. Calm down

Why focus on nuclear when you have oil, and the ability to run your society on that whilst transitioning using solar power, in the fucking desert. This 'are we going to build a big bomb' stuff needs some actual negotiation

I think trump will invade before he goes

That whole crew is going to jail soon. Mark this tweet! Cabal

Sounds like they want another plane full of money sending over

they are pressuring him in what capacity? bunch of fools lol
