Iran's Foreign Minister Ali Akbar Salehi has said that Iran has informed the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) that it is going to transfer its nuclear enrichment activities to a new site. Salehi said the transfer of 20-percent uranium enrichment activities from Natanz site to Fordo site in the central province of Qom has been notified to the IAEA. The Head of Atomic Energy Organization of Iran (AEOI) Fereidoon Abbasi said that the enrichment of uranium to the level of 20 percent will be transferred from Natanz site to Fordo site under the supervision of the IAEA, after which Iran will triple its 20-percent uranium enrichment output. Abbasi said Iran will stop the enrichment process in Natanz after it makes sure that the Fordo site can produce the uranium enriched by three times as its current status.In September 2009, Iran confirmed that it was building the new nuclear fuel enrichment plant of Fordo near the city of Qom. The Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad has announced in a press conference in Tehran that the country will never stop uranium enrichment.The West suspects that Iran's uranium enrichment may be meant for producing nuclear weapons, which has been denied by Iranian officials.
