Iran begins dismantling uranium-enrichment equipment: IAEA

Iran has begun dismantling centrifuges at its two main uranium enrichment sites in accordance with a deal struck with major powers this summer, the U.N. nuclear watchdog said on Wednesday in a confidential report seen by Reuters.
Under the July deal, sanctions against Iran will be lifted in exchange for restrictions being placed on its nuclear activities, including slashing the number of centrifuges it has in operation and reducing its stockpile of uranium.
The report by the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) to its Board of Governors said Iran had begun moving centrifuges at Fordow and Natanz, its two main enrichment sites. A senior diplomat said the machines were being dismantled.
"They have been dismantling centrifuges that did not contain hexafluoride," the senior diplomat said, referring to uranium hexafluoride, the feedstock for centrifuges, which can enrich uranium to purities at which it is used as fuel in power stations or, potentially, weapons.
