Traces of uranium enriched to near-weapons grade at a site connected to Iran’s nuclear programme have been found by inspectors from the United Nations.
Uranium needs to be purified to 90 per cent for nuclear weapons and the uranium found was at 84 per cent.
The discovery was leaked to American news agencies yesterday evening and while the UN’s International Atomic Energy Agency refused to confirm it, Rafael Grossi, its director, said that he was “in discussions with Iran”.
