The Iran nuclear deal allows the Islamic State to enrich uranium only with first-generation IR-1 centrifuges at the underground Natanz Fuel Enrichment Plant. Iran began enriching uranium with second-generation IR-2 centrifuges in November, and on March 7 added even more such machines, Reuters reported, citing the IAEA report. Other advanced centrifuges have been installed at Natanz but have not yet been fed with uranium, according to the report.
