Tehran, April 10: Iran signalled its determination to press ahead with its nuclear programme last night by announcing it had developed faster centrifuges for enriching uranium “Iran’s nuclear path is irreversible,” President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad said in a speech in Tehran.
“The Iranian nation has reached a new point where no power can deter it from moving full-speed ahead to reach peaceful nuclear energy.”
The head of Iran’s nuclear programme Ali Akbar Salehi said on national television that the new third generation centrifuges had a separation capacity six times that of its first-generation technology.
