Iranian ministers said Wednesday that the country's defense industries had built low-level nuclear centrifuges, and that Tehran would resume uranium enrichment once its problems with the International Atomic Energy Agency were resolved.


Defense Minister Ali Shamkhani told reporters that Iran's military industries, which also build parts and machinery for the civil sector, had produced the relatively unsophisticated P-1 centrifuges. But he said Iran had not been involved in producing more advanced P-2 models, used in producing weapons-grade enriched uranium.

"It is no secret. We have produced P-1, not P-2, contrary to U.S. allegations," Shamkhani said, when asked if the military was involved in any nuclear production.

"It's natural in the world that defense industries produce civilian parts. We in the defense industries produce parts for civilian planes, vehicle parts and even television sets," he said.

"We have also produced some parts for Iran's nuclear energy program including P-1," he said.
