Work inside a second, previously secret enrichment plant has also been stepped up, with 698 centrifuges operating inside the Fordow installation near Qom, a 69 per cent increase on the number recorded during the last inspection in October…

“As Iran is not providing the necessary co-operation, including by not implementing its additional protocol, the agency is unable to provide credible assurance about the absence of undeclared nuclear material and activities,” said the report.

Consequently, the IAEA was unable to “conclude that all nuclear material in Iran is in peaceful activities.”
