Iran may relocate its uranium enrichment work to more secure locations, a senior Iranian defense official said Wednesday, an acknowledgment of increased concern that Iran’s disputed nuclear program could face a military attack from Israel or the U.S.

Gholamreza Jalali, the director of Iran’s Passive Defense Organization, a unit of the Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corps, did not cite a particular threat or specify when the relocation might take place. But his statement came against the backdrop of increased tensions with the West over the nuclear program, which Iran contends is solely for peaceful purposes.
