US chides Iran on plan to speed up nuclear fuel work – Israel News, Ynetnews.
The White House said on Thursday that Iran’s plan to install advanced uranium enrichment machines at its main enrichment plant near the central town of Natanz would be a “provocative step” in further violation of United Nations resolutions against Tehran’s nuclear program.
“This does not come as a surprise,” White House spokesman Jay Carney told reporters. He said the introduction of new centrifuges would result in Iran’s further isolation by the international community. (Reuters)

why speed up at Natanz but not at Fordo?
Maybe it is an indication that something has really happened at Fordo.

My thoughts exactly.
The alleged explosion was on Jan. 21.
They announced their plan on Jan. 23 to the IAEA.
Maybe they have to make up for the lost centrifuges?
I really don’t know. Only time will tell.

This is what DEBKA says about it:
Iran to upgrade uranium equipment at Natanz – response to Fordo “sabotage”
In a letter dated Jan. 23, Iran notified the UN nuclear agency that it intends to install new IR2m centrifuges at the Natanz plant to upgrade uranium enrichment from five to 20 percent. This would make it possible to refine uranium faster that it can at the moment. DEBKAfile: This is Tehran’s defiant answer to the rumors that the main high-grade uranium enrichment facility at Fordo was sabotaged. The UN agency backed up Iran’s denial of this report, which means that Iran is now producing near-weapons grade uranium at two plants and and doubling its momentum toward a stock of weapons-grade material.

DEBKA’s explanation is mere bullshit.
Why should the Iranians react to a mere rumour in such a drastic way?
Makes no sense. I know what Lous would say and I would totally agree with him.
