Uranuim Enrichment

Last night people of Iran were presented the ability of their scientist of enriching uranium; news which I never believe in that scale they were telling us.
In the procedure of making an atomic bomb, enriching uranium is one of the vital steps. As far as I know, when uranium is found in a land, scientist should reform it from a mine material to a solid and pure one which is called yellowcake. The technology of making this substance is very secret and the countries that have it prefer to sell their own-made yellowcakes to the others who want use nuclear powers.
After making this material, they should convert it to gas by heating it about 64c and after that they lead this gas over centrifuges again and again until its isotopes separates and uranium is enriched.
Low-level enriched uranium can be used as fuel and highly-level enriched ones can be used in nuclear weapons.
Iran government announced that up to now they have made 63 centrifuges and they are going to extend this number to 2500 in 6 months.
I think they want to make an international belief that the entire world should fear of them because they can for example ruin whole Israel whenever they feel that their cruelty is intolerable or etc.
This show off is a dangerous one which ends into spreading more poverty and death. I'm really worried about future. Sigh….
