TEHRAN, Iran - Iran will resume building centrifuges for its nuclear program on Tuesday despite international objections, but will continue to hold off enriching uranium, the Foreign Ministry said Sunday
The announcement came days after the U.N. nuclear watchdog approved a European-drafted resolution that rebuked Iran for past cover-ups in its nuclear program.
Foreign Ministry spokesman Hamid Reza Asefi said Iran has informed the International Atomic Energy Agency of its decision, as well as the governments of Britain, Germany and France.
"We declared to IAEA and the three countries that we are prepared to resume work as of June 29th," Asefi said at a news conference.
However, he said Tehran will remain committed to suspension of actual uranium enrichment — injecting gas into centrifuges.
