Russia to Iran: Stop Building Enrichment Systems

The U.N. Security Council has adopted four sanctions resolutions aimed at pressuring Iran to halt its uranium enrichment program, which can generate fuel for civilian applications as well as material for weapons. Tehran, which long limited the refinement operation to a single known facility, has since June deployed uranium enrichment centrifuges at a separate hardened underground site and informed international auditors of plans to extend the effort to a third location (see GSN, Sept. 12). The government insists its atomic ambitions are purely peaceful.
