ISFAHAN, Iran (Kyodo) A uranium conversion facility and nuclear fuel plant in Isfahan, central Iran, were shown to Japanese media Wednesday as the United States and Europe continued to pressure the country about its atomic ambitions.
The conversion facility, which manufactures uranium hexafluoride as a raw material for uranium enrichment, forms the core of Iran's nuclear program in tandem with a uranium enrichment facility in Natanz.
The facility would be considered a prime military target if talks with the United States or Israel collapse and result in the use of force.
