Iran 'may boost nuclear program'

A diplomat based in Vienna is reported as saying that Iran may increase their nuclear program. This comes after it the report that Iran appears to be installing thousands of new centrifuges that could speed up their production of enriched uranium which is used in the creation of nuclear power as well as nuclear weapons. Inspectors from the IAEA are due to visit the Iranian capital this week after they were previously denied access to some nuclear sites inside the country. In my opinion the various tensions between Iran and much of the West serve as a catalyst for trying to obtain these weapons capabilities.
