Iran plans to install over 6,000 additional uranium-enriching centrifuges at its enrichment plants, according to a report by the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA). The report reveals that Iran intends to bring more of its already installed centrifuges online, potentially increasing the risk of nuclear proliferation. Iran denies seeking nuclear weapons, but Western powers argue that there is no civil explanation for enriching uranium to 60% purity, close to weapons grade. The report also outlines plans to install more cascades of centrifuges, including a massive cascade of up to 1,152 advanced IR-6 machines.
