Iran has rapidly ramped up production of higher-grade enriched uranium over the last few months, the UN nuclear agency said Friday, in a confidential report that feeds concerns about how quickly the Islamic republic could produce an atomic bomb.
The International Atomic Energy Agency report also said Iran failed to give a convincing explanation about a quantity of missing uranium metal. Diplomats say the amount unaccounted for is large enough to be used for experiments in arming a nuclear missile.

Iran insists it is not interested in nuclear weapons and says its activities are meant either to generate energy or to be used for research.
But the report contained little assurances the countryâs activities are purely peaceful. Instead, it also confirmed that two IAEA missions to Tehran within less than a month had failed to dent Iranâs refusal to assist an IAEA probe of suspicions the country has been secretly working on aspects of a nuclear weapons program.
