Tehran (ISNA) - The head of the Atomic Energy Organization of Iran (AEOI) Ali-Akbar Slahehi announced that the agency is ready to start production of 20% fuel.

Salehi said that the AEOI has submitted a letter to the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) to inform the UN watchdog of the plan.

"Based on a new law passed by the Parliament, we are intending to start production of 20% fuel," he added.

"The AEOI will await necessary orders by President Hassan Rouhani to take due measure," Salehi stressed.

He said the AEOI needs to change the uranium gas cylinders to embark on the new move.

Describing his team as soldiers of the Islamic system, the AEOI head said his agency will start its work as soon as it receives the order.
