Iran says it informed IAEA of stepped-up enrichment
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleThe semi-official Fars and Tasnim news agencies both report the news Monday that Iran has quadrupled production of low-enriched uranium.
They both say that the production is of uranium enriched only to the 3.67% limit set by the 2015 nuclear deal with world powers.
However, a quadrupling of production would mean that Iran likely will go beyond the stockpile limitations set by the deal.
Iran says it has informed the International Atomic Energy Agency, the UN nuclear watchdog, of its decision. The IAEA does not immediately respond to a request for comment.
