Recently, Iran has become less concerned about international treaty restrictions on its nuclear program. With this, Iran appears to want to pressure US President Joe Biden to make concessions upon the conclusion of a new nuclear deal.
The previous Iranian treaty was concluded during Barack Obama’s presidency, but his successor, Donald Trump, withdrew from the United States. Trump has also re-imposed sanctions on Iran.
Banned nuclear centrifuges
Last year, Tehran decided to move three centrifuge facilities at the Natanz nuclear power plant from an area above ground to an area underground. The system already uses advanced nuclear centrifuges whose use is prohibited by treaties.
Iran has indicated that it will soon start installing more advanced centrifuges, according to reports from the International Atomic Energy Agency. According to the International Atomic Energy Agency, Iran currently operates more than 5,000 permitted IR-1 centrifuges, 522 unauthorized IR-2m centrifuges, and 174 of the most advanced and unauthorized IR-4 centrifuges.
