IAEA confirms Iran working on uranium metal for reactor fuel
Iran has started work on uranium metal-based fuel for a research reactor, the United Nations’ nuclear watchdog and Tehran said on Wednesday. Kazem Gharib Abadi, Iran’s representative at the International Atomic Energy Agency, confirmed that the country has started working on the fuel, saying that everything has been reported to the agency.
Iran's action is the latest breach of its nuclear deal with six significant powers as it presses for a lifting of U.S. sanctions.
