Iranian President to announce new nuke projects

PanARMENIAN.Net - Iran's official news agency says that President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad will unveil new nuclear projects on Wednesday, February 15, AP reported.

IRNA did not say in its Tuesday report what the projects would be. But an independent news website that regularly reports on nuclear developments says the ceremonies are likely to include the formal inauguration of the underground Fordo uranium enrichment site in central Iran, and starting operations on two lines of centrifuges there.

Irannuc.ir also says that the president is also likely to announce the final stage of production of nuclear fuel rods to be used in a Tehran research reactor.

The U.S. and its allies accuse Iran of seeking nuclear weapons, a charge Tehran denies.
