Uranium enrichment continues

Iran is expanding its uranium enrichment program despite the growing threat of U.N. Security Council sanctions for defying a council demand that Tehran give up the activity and ease fears that it seeks to make nuclear arms, diplomats said Oct. 23.

The diplomats, who spoke on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to divulge the information to media, said that within the past few weeks Iranian nuclear experts had started up a second pilot enrichment facility.

While the 164 centrifuges were not producing enriched uranium, even the decision to "dry test" them showed Iran's defiance of the Security Council.
