Iran Picks New Nuclear Enrichment Sites

Um, Mr. President?  You might want to look into this.  Just sayin’. 

Iran has identified potential sites for 10 new nuclear enrichment plants and construction of two of them could begin this year, a nuclear energy official said on Monday.

Ali Akbar Salehi, head of the Atomic Energy Organization, said the sites had been chosen in remote mountainous areas to help protect from them from an attack.

“We have earmarked close to 20 sites and have passed the report on those to the president. However, these sites are only potential,” Salehi was quoted as saying by the Iranian news agency ISNA.

“We should begin the construction of two enrichment sites next year,” he said. “In the two new sites, we plan to use new centrifuges.”
