TEHRAN . Iran has begun uranium enrichment program at a new underground site well protected from possible airstrikes, a leading hardline newspaper reported on Sunday. Kayhan daily, which is close to Iran’s ruling clerics, said Tehran has begun injecting uranium gas into sophisticated centrifuges at the Fordo facility near the holy city of Qom. “Kayhan received reports yesterday that shows Iran has begun uranium enrichment at the Fordo facility amid heightened foreign enemy threats,” the paper said in a front-page report. Kayhan’s manager is a representative of Iran’s Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei. But Iran’s nuclear chief Fereidoun Abbasi said late Saturday that his country will “soon” begin enrichment at Fordo. It was impossible to immediately reconcile the two reports. Iran has a major uranium enrichment facility in Natanz in central Iran where nearly 8,000 centrifuges are operating. Tehran began enrichment at Natanz in April 2006. The Fordo centrifuges howeve...

Iran stresses warning against US navy presence in Gulf  (AFP) 4 January 2012 TEHERAN . Iran’s defence minister on Wednesday stressed his country’s warning against the US navy presence in the Gulf, reinforcing a threat dismissed by Washington as a sign of ‘weakness’ by Teheran. ‘Iran will do anything to preserve the security of the Strait of Hormuz’ at the entrance to the Gulf, Defence Minister Ahmad Vahidi said, according to the website of Iran’s state television. ‘The presence of forces from beyond the (Gulf) region has no result but turbulence. We have said the presence of forces from beyond the region in the Persian Gulf is not needed and is harmful,’ he was quoted as saying. The comments echoed a warning issued Tuesday by Iran’s military that it would unleash its ‘full force’ if a US aircraft carrier is redeployed to the Gulf. ‘We don’t have the intention of repeating our warning, and we warn only once,’ Brigadier General Ataollah Salehi, Iran’s armed forces chief, ...

TEHRAN. Iran’s military on Tuesday warned one of the US navy’s biggest aircraft carriers to keep away from the Gulf, in an escalating showdown over Tehran’s nuclear drive that could pitch into armed confrontation. “We advise and insist that this warship not return to its former base in the Gulf,” said Brigadier General Ataollah Salehi, Iran’s armed forces chief. “We don’t have the intention of repeating our warning, and we warn only once,” he was quoted as saying by the armed forces’ official website. The defiant message came just after Iran completed 10 days of naval manoeuvres at the entrance to the Gulf to show it could close the strategic oil shipping channel in the Strait of Hormuz if it felt threatened. In the climax of the war games on Monday, Iran test-fired three missiles — including a new cruise missile — designed to sink warships. The aircraft carrier Salehi was referring to was the USS John C. Stennis, one of the US navy’s biggest warships. The massive,...
