At an inauguration ceremony yesterday for a nuclear fuel production facility in Isfahan, Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad expressed his pride at Iran's entering into the final phase in the nuclear fuel production cycle.
He said that despite the threats from the West, "the Iranian train is moving ahead with increasing speed, on the right track."
Iranian Atomic Energy Organization director Gholam Reza Aghazadeh said that the speed of the new centrifuges was five to six times greater than that of the previous centrifuges, and that Iran was now operating some 7,.000 centrifuges at Natanz.
