Leader’s aide puts forward proposals to counter US breaches
Tehran (KNA) - A senior adviser to Leader of the Islamic Revolution Ayatollah Seyyed Ali Khamenei has put forward a number of propositions to develop the country’s nuclear capabilities and counter US breaches of the Iran deal, the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA), weeks after President Donald Trump pulled his country out of the agreement.
Ali Akbar Velayati put forward several offers to respond to the US move at a meeting in the Iranian capital Tehran on Wednesday.The first proposal, Velayati said, was to produce uranium hexafluoride (UF6), saying, "We can produce UF6, which turns into gas at 70° C and can rotate centrifuges for enrichment.
"Velayati's second offer was to accelerate the use of powerful nuclear engines for ships and submarines and the production of stable isotopes.
"One of the features of these engines is that a submarine with such an engine can remain under water for two years, while with other fuels it needs to come out of water every few days to refuel," he said.
