Iran tripled its production of enriched uranium and rejected the international concerns about its possible pursuit of nuclear weapons that a team of United Nations inspectors accepted to Tehran this week.
Amid rising tensions about its nuclear research, Iran “dismissed the agency’s concerns,” the International Atomic Energy Agency said today in an 11-page limited document obtained by Bloomberg News. “Iran considered them to be based on unsupported allegations,” according to the document.
The report, dispersed to IAEA member states, was published three days after inspectors’ talks with Iran broke down. The inspectors said Iran has enlarged the number of machines it’s using to enrich uranium at its Natanz complex by 14 percent and has begun enriching material at its underground Fordo complex close to the holy city of Qom.
