Iran's top leader orders start of uranium enrichment up to 190,000 SWU

TEHRAN - Iran's Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei on Monday ordered the Atomic Energy Organization of Iran to start enrichment of uranium up to a level of 190,000 SWU without any delay.

"It seems ... that some European governments expect the Iranian nation to both put up with sanctions and give up its nuclear activities," said Khamenei.

"I tell those (European) governments that this bad dream will never come true," he said.
