TEHRAN – The spokesman for the Atomic Energy Organization of Iran underlined on Monday that the testing of the IR-8 centrifuges are within the framework of the Joint Comprehensive plan of Action, commonly known as the nuclear deal.

Behrouz Kamalvandi also said, "The successful testing of the advanced generation of centrifuges and injecting uranium hexafluoride (UF6) into them are of paramount importance.” 

“This is a leap forward in safely implementing the guidelines of the Leader, who mandated development to the highest level of technology of nation’s nuclear program,” Fars quoted him as saying.
