\u201cThe Tehran reactor has been completely redesigned compared to two years ago,\u201d Salehi said on September 9, IRNA reported.<\/p>\n
Iran has signed a major agreement with a European nation to fortify the reactor, he added.<\/p>\n
He further referred to the completion of a facility to produce advanced centrifuges at the Natanz nuclear plant and said, \u201cThe leader (Ayatollah Ali Khamenei) ordered us to set up and complete a very advanced hall for the construction of modern centrifuges, and this hall has now been fully equipped and set up.\u201d<\/p>\n
Salehi said Khamenei also ordered development of nuclear-powered ships, and that project would take 10-15 years to complete.<\/p>\n
The recent nuclear developments came after the US president on May 8 pulled his country out of the JCPOA, which was achieved in Vienna in 2015 after years of negotiations among Iran and the Group 5+1 (Russia, China, the US, Britain, France and Germany).<\/p>\n
Following the US exit, Iran and the remaining parties launched talks to save the accord.<\/p>\n
Meanwhile, Khamenei has underlined that any decision to keep the JCPOA running without the US should be conditional on \u201cpractical guarantees\u201d from the Europeans.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
