New York Times : Speaking to the Japanese media today, Ali Akbar Salehi, head of the Atomic Energy Organization of Iran, said that Iran has begun implementing the preliminary steps defined by the nuclear deal signed earlier this year. One of those steps is the reduction of Iran’s centrifuge count from 19 000 to about 6000. In a letter to Iran’s President Hassan Rouhani, a group of lawmakers protested the removal of the centrifuges and other equipment from one of the country’s two enrichment plants and indicated that the process will take two weeks to finish.
