Kamalvandi said the country is ready to increase its uranium enrichment capacity to 190,000 separative work units (SWUs).

In July 2018, Ali Akbar Salehi, head of the AEOI, said that Iran had set up a factory to manufacture rotors used in advanced centrifuge machines, which was part of a plan to elevate the country's uranium enrichment capacity to 190,000 SWUs. The factory had the capacity to manufacture around 60 IR-6 centrifuge machines each day.
