Iran announces to build 10 more uranium enrichment plants

Iran has announced that it would build another 10 uranium enrichment plants. Iran's Mehr News agency reports that construction of five facilities could begin within two months. Iran government would ask the Atomic Body to search place for 5 more plants. Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad said the facilities were necessary to meet the country's goal to eventually generate up to 20,000 megawatt-hours of electricity every year. The new program would also require an additional 500,000 new centrifuges. On the other hand, America has termed the announcement a violation of international law.
