Iran's nuclear programme is irreversible, President Mahmoud
Ahmadinejad said on Wednesday, voicing continued defiance in the
face of possible new international sanctions on the Islamic Republic.
He also insisted that Iran now has 3,000 centrifuges, used to
enrich uranium, in its underground Natanz nuclear plant. Enriched
uranium can fuel power plants but also, if refined further, provide
material for bombs.
Western experts say 3,000 machines running smoothly for long
periods at supersonic speed could make enough enriched uranium
for an atomic bomb in about a year, if Iran wanted, and form the
basis for "industrial-scale" nuclear fuel production.

"The Iranian nation has entered the phase of industrial
scale of nuclear fuel (production) and the train of the Iranian
nation's progress is irreversible," Ahmadinejad told a rally
in South Khorasan province, broadcast live on state television.
"Today, we've reached 3,000 centrifuges," he said.
Ahmadinejad, who like other Iranian leaders rejects U.S. accusations
that the country is seeking to develop atom bombs, said in September
that Iran had "more than 3,000 centrifuges working"
and that more were installed every week.
