Iranian state media says Iran has started the process of enriching uranium to 20% in defiance of the West.
Al-Alam state television reported that the process was begun at the Natanz plant in the presence of International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) inspectors.The move came after Western powers stepped up pressure for international sanctions against Iran.
Iran currently enriches uranium to a level of 3.5% but requires 20% enriched uranium for its Tehran research reactor, which is meant to produce medical isotopes.
