Iran to build new uranium enrichment plants in mountains
Source: AFP

Iran said on Monday it is considering plans to start building two new uranium enrichment plants from March, with the sites concealed in the mountains to avert air strikes.

The announcement from Iran's atomic chief Ali Akbar Salehi comes just days after the UN nuclear watchdog raised concerns that Tehran could be building a nuclear warhead.

"Inshallah (God willing), in the next Iranian year (starting in March) as ordered by the president (Mahmoud Ahmadinejad), we may start the construction of two new enrichment sites," Salehi told ISNA news agency.

He said the enrichment capacities of the new sites would be similar to the existing facility in the central city of Natanz, where Tehran is refining uranium despite three sets of UN sanctions.

5. Another Reported "Nuke" Finding - Not!
Each and everyone gets debunked but the pro war crazies persist in posting these ridiculous articles in order to promote their warmongering agenda.
