„Iran’s Atomic Energy Organization (AEOI) announced Wednesday that the country’s experts are testing a new generation of centrifuges, the Islamic Republic’s semi-official state news agency Fars reported. AEOI spokesman Behrouz Kamalvandi was referring to the centrifuges Iran unveiled in January, which, it claimed, are 15 times more powerful than the ones already in its possession. According to Fars, Kamalvandi emphasized Iran’s capability to resume the nuclear activities currently frozen by the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA), the deal that Tehran signed with the P5+1 powers exactly a year ago. Referring to and warning those powers – China, France, Russia, the United Kingdom, the United States and Germany – Kamalvandi said, ‚They have seen how smart our scientists are and we are not therefore concerned about returning to the past conditions and capacities and we are able to develop even more than the past.‘”
