Iran’s nuclear energy chief, Fereydoun Abbasi-Davan, said the country’s uranium enrichment program would continue at its current pace, despite the election of Hassan Rowhani to succeed President Ahmadinejad in August. Abbasi-Dayan also said refinement work at the underground Fordow facility would not change. Israel has warned that pressure on Iran over its nuclear program must not lessen under the new administration.
