Iran plans new uranium enrichment facility after IAEA breach ruling

Investing.com -- Iran has informed the United Nations nuclear watchdog that it plans to open a new uranium enrichment facility, according to an official from the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA).

The decision comes in response to the IAEA board of governors declaring Iran in breach of non-proliferation obligations on Thursday, the official said, speaking on condition of anonymity.

The IAEA official noted that Iran provided no further details about the planned facility, such as its location.

Iranian state TV reported that the new enrichment facility is among several measures Iran is taking in response to the resolution passed by the IAEA board.

The IAEA’s Thursday resolution formally declared Iran in violation of its nuclear non-proliferation commitments, prompting this immediate response from Tehran.
