Domestically, Tehran Brags About Cheating on the IAEA and the West<\/h3>\n

\"iran-ali-akbar-salehi\"<\/p>\n

During a televised program<\/a> broadcasted by the state-run Ofogh TV, state officials boasted that Tehran has been using the nuclear talks as a cover for advancing of its nuclear program.<\/p>\n

In this report, among others, the Iranian former nuclear chief Ali Akbar Salehi says: “I went to Mr. Ahmadinejad and told him that they (the P5+1) won’t allow us to have 20 percent enriched uranium so easily. They will set a lot of terms and conditions, so let us start quietly right now. Of course, we will also negotiate in parallel. But we will start our work to produce the 20% enriched uranium so that we don’t lose time and Mr. Ahmadinejad said it’s alright.”<\/p>\n

“We had a meeting every week and we worked 7\/24. We moved everything forward simultaneously. While we were working on the building of that plant, we were also working on the research to prepare our equipment. Once the building was constructed, all these (centrifuges) were installed. Within 2 years we produced the 20% enriched uranium.”<\/p>\n
