Evidence presented last year to “prove” that the Islamic Republic had successfully enriched Uranium in experimental scales. The text on the rods, which are now kept in Imam Reza Shrine Museum, reads “UF6 3.5 enriched”. Read the whole story here.

Following the early announcements that the Iranian administration will soon have good news to say about its nuclear program, three days ago, Bahonar, a high-ranking pro-Ahmadinejad MP, said “in three month we will successfully carry out the whole enrichment process”. In a related news, Fars reports that Ahmadinejad will open the celebrations for the national day of nuclear technology in Natanz nuclear facilities. Last year these days, the Islamic Republic suddenly announced that they have completed the experimental enrichment procedure. The proof was a suitcase and the two rods shown in the above. Some reports suggest that the Islamic Republic may announce a temporary suspension of its nuclear activities, after a joyful announcement of the like Bahonar is speaking of. For more details on last year’s events see here.

Update I: Unofficial reports suggest that Ahmadinejad will announce the installation of 3,000 centrifuges in Natanz. The number of centrifuges installed currently is 350.

Update II: For the celebration of the nuclear day, students will encircle some nuclear sites (IRIB).
