Iran stepping up their Uranium enrichment program

While President Obama contemplates reducing our nuclear stockpile by 1/3, Iran is stepping up their efforts to be a player in this realm...no matter how they want to disguise it:
The top Iranian atomic energy official was quoted Wednesday as saying that his country had begun to install more sophisticated enrichment devices at its Natanz nuclear site. The development coincided with the start of a new round of talks with negotiators from the UN nuclear watchdog. 
Fereydoon Abbasi, the head of Iran’s Atomic Energy Agency, said scientists began putting in the new centrifuges last month, according to the semiofficial Iranian Students’ News Agency. 
“We have produced the ­machines as planned, and we are carrying out the installation gradually, to complete the tests relevant to the new generation,” he was quoted as saying.
Iran told the International Atomic Energy Agency, the UN nuclear regulatory body, late last month that it planned to ­install the new equipment at Natanz, southeast of Tehran, to speed up the production of enriched uranium, a move that seemed likely to worry the United States, Israel, and the West.
