Iran has recently announced its intention to expand its nuclear program by increasing the number of centrifuges. This decision comes after the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) criticized Iran for not addressing ongoing investigations into uranium particles found at undisclosed sites.

Mohammad Eslami, the head of the Atomic Energy Organization of Iran, has been tasked with developing a significant collection of new and advanced centrifuges. This move has heightened tensions with Western nations, especially considering recent indications from Tehran that they are willing to ease these tensions. Diplomatic efforts are ongoing to address concerns about Iran's nuclear ambitions and its compliance with international regulations.
