According to the information given by the Reuters agency, the Chinese companies decided to reduce crude oil import from Iran after the difference of opinion lasted 3 months between this country and China. By the information, the Chinese companies will reduce oil import form Iran for 50 % since March. This decision of the Chinese companies means reinforcement of the pressure against Iran more. To note, China is considered one of the main customers of the Iranian oil. This step of the Chinese companies has a purpose to get Iran’s crude oil cheaper and with suitable terms. To mention, during a visit to China last week, Germany’s Prime Minister Angela Merkel invited the authorities of this country to reduce crude oil import from Iran and to get oil needs from other countries.

And another news states a decision about the new financial sanctions of the US president Barack Obama. Hinting at the financial machinations and underhand accounts of Iran’s National Bank in the letter written to the US Congress too, Barack Obama said that execution of more general sanctions are important and necessary since Iran’s financial activity creates a threat for the international financial markets.

On the other hand the information, given by the IAEA diplomatic sources, states expansion of uranium enrichment activities of Iran in the Fardu Nucclear Centers. Iran’s Nuclear Agency gave the information last year that Iran would start enrich uranium at 20 % in Fardu center. The IAEA officials stated before too, that Iran had located 348 centrifuge units in this center. These centrifuges consisted of each 172 pieces in two lines. But now Iran has increased these lines twice. Thus, the activity of Iran in this center has increased twice. The new installed centrifuges have been put in operation and today continue to enrich uranium at 20 percents.

The international troubles have become increased in regard to Iran’s nuclear activity, since this country transferred uranium enrichment to Fardu center. The specialists talk on using of uranium enrichment at 20 % in double purpose. It is possible to get a nuclear weapon by this too. However, refusing all charges, Iran states to use this process just for peace purposes. To mention, Fradu center was concealed from the international organizations. However, Iran gave the information on existence of such center since the Western secret services stated the place and purpose of this center.
