Rouhani: Iran’s right to enrich uranium makes Trump angry

Baku, Azerbaijan, Jan. 31

By Farhad Daneshvar – Trend:

US President Donald Trump is angry at the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA/ nuclear deal) because, after clinching the accord, the world has recognized Iran's right to enrich uranium, President Hassan Rouhani said.

President Rouhani said that it became feasible to enrich uranium in the country using advanced domestically-manufactured centrifuge machines,
known as IR-8, one year after the implementation of the JCPOA, Tasnim news agency reported.

The president made the remarks addressing a group of people in the northern province of Alborz.

The Atomic Energy Organization of Iran (AEOI) on Jan. 28 announced that the organization has started injecting uranium hexafluoride (UF6) into IR-8 centrifuge machines.

The organization through a statement on the same day said that Iran’s research and development plans will continue without any halt in all sectors of peaceful nuclear activities according to the JCPOA.

Iran and the world powers inked the JCPOA on July 14, 2015 and started implementing it on January 16, 2016.

Under the nuclear agreement, Iran undertook to put limitations on its nuclear program in exchange for the removal of nuclear-related sanctions imposed against Tehran.
