UN nuclear watchdog: Iran boosting uranium enrichment despite sanctions

In confidential report, IAEA also voicees concern about what it called Iran's 'repeated objection' to the agency's choice of inspectors working in the country.

Iran's total production of low-enriched uranium has risen by around 15 percent since May to reach 2.8 tons, according to a United Nations nuclear watchdog report, showing Tehran is pushing ahead with disputed work despite tougher sanctions.

The confidential report, obtained by Reuters on Monday, said the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) remained concerned about possible activity in the Islamic Republic to develop a nuclear payload for a missile.
