Iran has accelerated production of enriched uranium, IAEA says

Iran has followed through on its threat to accelerate its production of enriched uranium, the U.N. nuclear watchdog's chief Yukiya Amano said on Monday.

Iran's nuclear deal with major powers caps the amount of low-enriched uranium Iran can produce. Given fluctuations in production, it was not clear when Iran might reach that limit, Amano told a news conference, declining to elaborate further on the production rate.
