Fereidoom Abbasi, head of the Iranian Atomic Energy Organization (AEOI), also confirmed the information and said: " The 20% enriched uranium will be transferred from Nantaz facility to Fordo under supervision. The IAEA, after that, Iran will triple its 20% uranium enrichment output . '

Mr Abbasi said Iran would stop enriching operations at Natanz after it was certain that the Fordo facility could produce three times as much enriched uranium as it currently does.

In September 2009, Iran confirmed that it was building a new nuclear fuel enrichment plant in Fordo near the city of Qom.

Earlier, on June 7, Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad also declared defiantly at a press conference in Tehran that, despite pressure from the West, Iran would never stop enriching uranium.

As for Iran's current nuclear activities, Mr. Ahmadinejad stressed that " Iran's nuclear ship will never brake and never fall back ," implying that the country is determined to pursue and promote the nuclear program to the end.

President Ahmadinejad also rejected the idea that Iran's nuclear program is slowing, and said Iran's nuclear facilities did not experience any technical problems as some of the previous sources put it. .

Mr. Ahmadinejad said all centrifuges in Iran's nuclear reactors were still operating normally and generations of centrifuges prepared to "go out ".
