Iran on Monday defiantly stuck by its ambition to massively crank up uranium enrichment capacity amid spiralling tensions with the United States over its role in the Middle East.
Government spokesman Gholam Hossein Elham said Iran wanted to install "even more" than 3,000 centrifuges to enrich uranium at a key nuclear plant in defiance of Western warnings to freeze the sensitive activity.
His comments came amid a rumbling controversy over the arrest of five Iranian nationals by American forces in Iraq, accused by the United States of being Revolutionary Guards agents bent on stirring up trouble.
