New Iran nuclear work is confirmed

None

Diplomats have confirmed reports that Iran has begun uranium enrichment at a new underground bunker and say the process is producing material that can be upgraded quickly for use in a nuclear weapon.

 

Two diplomats tell The Associated Press that centrifuges at the Fordo, Iran, site are churning out 20%uranium. That's higher than the 3.5% being made at Iran's main enrichment plant and can be turned more easily into fissile warhead material. (AP)
