Iran speeding up nuclear work - UN
Iran has rapidly ramped up production of higher-grade enriched uranium over the last four months, the UN nuclear agency says in a confidential report.
The report fuels fears about how quickly the Islamic Republic could produce an atomic bomb.
The International Atomic Energy Agency also said Iran had failed to give a convincing explanation about a quantity of missing uranium metal.
Diplomats have said the missing amount could be used for experiments used to arm a warhead.
Iran insists it is not interested in nuclear weapons and says all of its activities are meant either to generate energy or to be used for research.
But the report expresses "serious concerns regarding possible military dimensions to Iran's nuclear programme."

Iran is rapidly ramped up producing higher-grade enriched uranium probably for for two obvious reasons,
to catch with the Zionists nuclear arsenal and to halt the illegal settlements the Zionists have been building on illegal occupied lands.
Does Iran have right for self defense? What I mean, in 2003-while North Korea was carrying out nuclear tests, putting USA major cities within its nuclear long-range missiles and defying the International community, the (USA) went to attack Iraq instead searching for the never existed so never found Mass Destruction Weapons. Wasn’t the message sent by the USA clear enough to read: If you don’t have a deterrent weapon you have no place on planet Earth?
In a nutshell, the whole thing about Iran’s nuclear weapons is in reality about selling military equipment and energy business and to a certain extent fulfilling a Biblical prophecy for what’s called a Jew state.

"military dimensions to Iran's nuclear programme."
Thats because other countries already have them.
