Iran informs international agency it will increase uranium enrichment - washingtonpost.com: "TEHRAN -- Iran informed the International Atomic Energy Agency on Monday that it will start producing higher-grade enriched uranium, a day after President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad ordered the production, prompting the United States to renew threats of carefully targeted sanctions.
Ali Asghar Soltanieh, Iran's envoy to the Vienna-based IAEA, handed over a letter informing the U.N. nuclear watchdog agency that his country on Tuesday would start enriching uranium up to 20 percent, the state-run English-language news network Press TV reported. The higher-grade uranium would be significantly beyond the level needed to fuel nuclear power plants, the ostensible reason to date for Iran's uranium-enrichment program."
