IRAN NOT COOPERATING WITH IAEA

"The IAEA... says Iran is continuing to enrich uranium in defiance of the UN Security Council... the IAEA says Iran now has about 7,000 centrifuges - the machines used for enriching uranium. The agency says that Tehran is running almost 5,000 of them. It also says that Iran has boosted its stockpile of low-enriched uranium (LEU) by 500kg to more than 1,300kg in the last six months... the Washington-based Institute for Science and International Security think-tank has said that Iran now had enough LEU to convert into high-enriched uranium (HEU) to make one atomic bomb... (however) Iran would need to overcome some technical hurdles to achieve this - a process that could take several years or more. A senior official close to the IAEA says the agency has made little progress in its investigations in Iran and in Syria. The agency has urged both countries to co-operate with its inspectors."
