Iran claims to have enriched 6.5 kilograms (14 pounds) of uranium to 60% purity, a government spokesperson said on Tuesday, in an apparent bid to dial up the pressure on world powers that are renegotiating the landmark nuclear agreement.
Cabinet spokesperson Ali Rabiei also said Iranian scientists had further violated the nuclear deal by increasing the stockpile of 20% enriched uranium to 108 kilograms (238 pounds), up from 90 kilograms (198 pounds) last month.
