Iran is reported to have expanded its nuclear program - despite the threat of United Nations sanctions. Iran's semi-official student news agency (ISNA) says nuclear engineers have begun operating a second network of centrifuges at a uranium enrichment facility. The report Friday quotes sources as saying gas had been fed into the second system this week and that the results of the process already had been obtained. The report also says uranium had not yet been put into the system, but could be in the next few days.
On Wednesday, Tehran confirmed it had installed new equipment to step up uranium enrichment work. Britain, France and Germany have proposed a draft U.N. Security Council resolution that would impose sanctions on Iran for its nuclear program and refusal to suspend enrichment activities.

德黑蘭星期三證實，他們確實安裝了新設備，加快濃縮鈾的提取工作。英國、法國和德國已經提出一項聯合國安理會決議草案。決議草案要求對伊朗實施制裁，懲罰伊朗從事核項目及拒絕中止?jié)饪s鈾活動的行為。
