Friday, August 29, 2008 TEHRAN, Iran — Iran's official IRNA news agency says the government now
has nearly 4,000 centrifuges operating in its uranium enrichment plant.
IRNA also quoted Deputy Foreign Minister Ali Reza Sheikh Attar as saying
Iran is installing 3,000 more centrifuges at the plant in Natanz. Iran says it plans to move toward large-scale uranium enrichment that
will ultimately involve 54,000 centrifuges. The U.S. and its allies have been demanding a halt to Iran's uranium
enrichment _ something Tehran has repeatedly refused to do. Washington accuses Iran of seeking to develop nuclear weapons. Tehran
says its nuclear program is geared merely toward generating electricity.
