A document outlining Iran's long-term uranium enrichment plan, which was obtained by the Associated Press, reveals Iran's intention to expand its enrichment program after the first ten years of the nuclear agreement. According to the document, Iran will install between 2,500 and 3,500 advanced centrifuges--five times as efficient as the machines currently installed--between years 11 and 13 of the deal. These advanced centrifuges will allow Iran to produce weapons grade uranium more quickly, reducing Iran's "breakout" time. The document, which was approved by the United States and five other world powers as part of the nuclear agreement, was submitted to the International Atomic Energy Agency but has not been made public.
