IRNA - Islamic Republic News Agency

Tehran, Feb 19, IRNA -- Foreign Ministry Spokesman Hamid Reza Asefi 
on Thursday categorically denied reports on existence of P-2 
centrifuge at a military center in Iran, describing the reports as 
`unfounded`. 
According to Information and Press Bureau of the foreign 
ministry, Asefi said that the P-2 centrifuges are merely a `research 
project` that has not commissioned yet. 
Iran`s nuclear activities are intended for peaceful purposes and 
the country has not pursued, and still does not pursue, any nuclear 
military program, he underlined. 
No nuclear program is pursued at any Iranian military center and 
there are no P-2 centrifuges at those centers.
