Report: Iran to Enrich Uranium

Iran has begun enriching uranium in a bunker deep inside a mountain, the leading hard-line newspaper Kayhan reported Sunday, in another show of defiance against Western powers. The country's move to continue refinement work in Fordow, a facility near the city of Qom in central Iran, will likely complicate diplomatic efforts to resolve the charges against Iran that it is trying to make a nuclear weapon—charges that Iran denies, saying it's only using uranium for energy. The fact that enrichment is taking place in underground labs shielded from aerial surveillance and protected against airstrikes by 300 feet of mountain rock will not help matters.
