PARIS - France condemned on Tuesday Iran's announcement that it was installing new uranium enrichment machines to speed progress in its nuclear program, calling it a "clear provocation".
The comments came after an Iranian official appeared to confirm a Reuters story last week that Iran was installing two newer and more advanced models of the centrifuges used to refine uranium for large-scale testing.

"This is a new violation of six Security Council resolutions and 10 resolutions by the council of governors of the International Atomic Energy Agency."
