The head of Iran’s nuclear program said Monday his country hopes to begin construction within a year on two uranium-enrichment facilities, which it plans to build deep inside mountains to protect them from possible attack.
Ali Akbar Salehi, who is also Iran’s vice president, said Tehran intends to use its more advanced centrifuges at the new sites, a decision that could add to growing concerns in the West over Tehran’s program because the technology would allow Iran to accelerate the pace of its program.
