Iran has met the deadline for limiting the number centrifuges at the Fordow Fuel Enrichment Plant to just over 1,000 machines, according to a statement by the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA).  Hundreds of centrifuges were transferred to an underground storage facility at Natanz.  Under the terms of the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA), Iran had one year from January 16, 2016 to move the excess centrifuges.
