Iran is currently producing uranium enriched to up to 60% purity, close to weapons grade, at a rate of around 9 kg per month, the rate that it returned to in late November after a slowdown last year, a senior diplomat said on Monday.
International Atomic Energy Agency chief Rafael Grossi gave a figure of 7 kg a month in an interview with Reuters last week. Grossi was, however, using an average since the last IAEA report, which included part of the slowdown, the diplomat said.
