Iran is installing thousands of advanced centrifuges at key facilities, which was announced days after the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) raised concerns over Tehran’s lack of transparency and cooperation regarding nuclear safeguards.
The plan was disclosed by Iranian officials on Nov. 27 and detailed in a confidential IAEA report dated Nov. 28. It follows a rebuke by the IAEA Board of Governors in a Nov. 20 report, which criticized Iran’s lack of cooperation in addressing unresolved safeguard issues, including providing credible explanations for uranium traces found at undeclared sites and granting full access to inspectors as required under its international obligations.
