The Jerusalem Post published an article headlined 'Iran ups nuke capacity, but below Israel red line'.
"Iran has increased its capacity to refine uranium by installing hundreds more centrifuges, a UN nuclear agency report said on Wednesday, underlining Tehran's defiance of Western demands to curb the activity," the article reads.
"But, in a development that could help buy time for diplomacy between Iran and world powers, the report showed limited growth of Iran's most sensitive nuclear stockpile and it remained below an Israeli "red line" for possible action."
"The report by the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) indicated that Iran was pressing ahead with the construction of a research reactor that Western experts say could offer it a second way of producing material for a nuclear bomb, if it decided to embark on such a course," the author writes.
"Western concerns about Iran are focused largely on uranium enrichment plants at Natanz and Fordow, as such material refined to a high level can provide the fissile core of an atomic bomb."
"But experts say Arak may also be a proliferation issue as it could yield plutonium for nuclear arms if the spent fuel were reprocessed. Iran has said it has no fuel reprocessing plans," the article reads.
