Iran's nuclear program began during the 1950s. The United States
has expressed concern since the mid-1970s that Tehran might develop
nuclear weapons. Iran's construction of gas centrifuge-based
uranium enrichment facilities is currently the main source of
proliferation concern. Gas centrifuges enrich uranium by spinning
uranium hexafluoride gas at high speeds to increase the
concentration of the uranium-235 isotope. Such centrifuges can
produce both low-enriched uranium (LEU), which can be used in
nuclear power reactors, and weapons-grade highly enriched uranium
(HEU), which is one of the two types of fissile material used in
nuclear weapons.
