Iran plans to install more uranium-enriching centrifuges: Report

Iran plans to install more uranium-enriching centrifuges at its Fordow and Natanz plants and has instructed the UN about its plans, according to a report by Reuters on Thursday. 

Iran also plans to activate centrifuges that have already been installed. 

If the centrifuges were activated and installed, they could enrich to up to five percent purity, Iran told the International Atomic Energy Agency.

Iran already has 60 percent enriched uranium, which analysts and US officials say could be converted into weapons-grade material in a few days.
