Iran has further stepped up its production of highly enriched uranium, according to the UN nuclear watchdog, which set out \"serious concern\" at the development.
In a confidential report seen by the BBC, the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) said Iran now possesses over 400kg of uranium enriched to 60% purity - well above the level used for civilian purposes and close to weapons grade, and a near 50% increase in three months.
It is enough for about 10 nuclear weapons if further refined, making Iran the only non nuclear-armed state producing uranium at this level.
Iran has long said its programme is peaceful.
