Read on the website Vestnik Kavkaza

The Jerusalem Post published an article devoted to the ongoing Iranian nuclear crisis. "Iran has a reserve of nuclear fuel that would last four years, the head of the country's Atom Energy Organization said, as technical talks continued in Vienna Friday on the implementation of a deal meant to freeze the Islamic Republic's nuclear program for six months," the article begins.

 

"Ali Akbar Salehi stressed on Thursday that Tehran will not be losing anything in the November 24 interim deal, meant to allow a window to negotiate a permanent agreement in the nuclear dispute between Iran and world powers," the newspaper informs.

 

"While the deal limits uranium enrichment at Iran's nuclear facilities, it does not include a ban on building of the country's heavy-water reactor in Arak, where construction will continue," Salehi is quoted as saying by the Jerusalem Post.

"Iran has also told the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) it was producing a new generation of centrifuges," he said.
