Iran has installed additional and more advanced centrifuges at the Natanz nuclear facility, days after an explosion damaged an unknown number of the machines.

Iran also informed the UN that it plans to install even more cascades of the advanced centrifuges.

Truth and understanding
The Media Line's intrepid correspondents are in Israel, Gaza, Lebanon, Syria and Pakistan providing first-person reporting.
They all said they cover it.
We see it.
We report with just one agenda: the truth.
The centrifuges enrich uranium at up to 60% purity, which is prohibited under the nearly defunct 2015 nuclear deal between Iran and the world powers. The United States left the deal in 2018 and reimposed harsh sanctions against Iran, leading Iran to continue to breach the deal.
Talks in Vienna to revive the nuclear deal, including indirect negotiations between Iran and the US, are expected to resume next week, after officials said Wednesday that “some progress” has been made.
