Iran has announced that they are now better equipped to move into final stages of building better nuclear weapon fuel. President Mahmoud was seen in one of the latest nuclear power plants observing uranium enrichment facilities. Their number of centrifuges has reportedly been increased to 7,000 from the 6,000 that were reported in February. Iran has denied the accusations that they are trying to build a nuclear weapon. "The process is distinct from uranium enrichment, which produces fuel for a light-water reactor." This report comes the day after President Obama's cabinet contacted Iran to talk about their nuclear program. "Ahmadinejad was attending celebrations for Iran's National Day of Nuclear Technology, which marks the day in 2006 when Iran enriched uranium for the first time."
