Diplomatic sources said that Iran has taken steps in recent weeks, closer to the launch of its uranium enrichment activities in a bunker inside a mountain, a move that would increase the complexity of the front of the Iranian nuclear program with the West.Iran says months ago it was preparing to conduct uranium enrichment in Fordo - a fortified underground site - says it will produce the materials necessary for its nuclear program is peaceful, but has not yet started.
The Vienna-based diplomat said he believed that Iran began in late December / December feed gas centrifuge enrichment, within the framework of the final preparations for the use of machinery in the enrichment.
The diplomat said "They are approaching the ability to start in Enrichment, and we must do some experimentation and refinement of the master it."
An official from another country it is believed that Iran is in the process of "packaging", a technical step include the development of nuclear material into centrifuges to prepare for activation for the enrichment, and added, "I suppose they can begin whenever they want."
Iran revealed the existence of Fordo facility for the International Energy Agency (IAEA) in September / September 2009 after it had been that the Western intelligence services had discovered.
Tehran says it will use uranium enriched to 20% to convert it to fuel for research reactor produces radioactive isotopes for the treatment of cancer patients.
But Western officials say they have doubts about Iran's ability to do this art work. They also say that the ability of facility Fordo - which can accommodate only three thousand centrifuges maximum - less than to produce fuel for nuclear power plants, but they are well-suited for the production of small amounts of highly enriched uranium and appropriate for a nuclear weapons program.
Need nuclear bombs-grade enriched uranium to 90%, but Mark Fitzpatrick, nuclear expert at the International Institute for Strategic Studies says that most of the work may be completed with access to the purity of 20%.
"With the enrichment of uranium to 20% will be nine-tenths of the effort to reach the degree of enrichment required for weapons have been."
Decision-enrichedApart from the technical issue for the preparation of site Fordo for takeoff, Iran will have to take a political decision to begin enrichment, and Western capitals may be hoping to persuade Tehran to stop a new set of sanctions pressure on the Iranian economy.
And Iran is already in another location on the surface of the earth to enrich uranium to a purity of 20% which is much higher than the 3.5% normally required for the operation of power plants.
Iran intends to transfer the enrichment of this magnitude in the high Fordo try to secure better protection for their activities from any hostile attacks, and it intends to increase its ability to significantly enriched.
Indeed, the installation of machinery and other equipment necessary to start enrichment in Fordo last year.
The West suspects that the work of Iran to enrich uranium as part of its quest for a nuclear bomb, and he wants to block these plans, and if Iran has begun enriching uranium at the site near the city of Qom, the holy Shia will increase the difficulty of resuming nuclear talks, which collapsed with the West a year ago .
Western countries imposed economic sanctions on Tehran for escalating its nuclear program, culminating in a new law signed by President Barack Obama's New Year's Eve aims to prevent the purchase of Iranian oil.
Did not rule out the United States and Israel for attacks on Iranian nuclear sites to prevent Tehran from obtaining nuclear weapons, Iran says its nuclear program is entirely peaceful and that he dedicated mainly to generate electricity.
Has already said Iran - its nuclear program, which is the source of power and influence - for substantial progress in the nuclear field, including the decision early in 2010 to enrich uranium to 20%.
Western experts and gives different estimates on the speed at which Iran could assemble a nuclear weapon if it so decides, with estimates ranging between six months to a year or more.
