Color me shocked – shocked, I tell you!

UN inspectors have found enriched uranium in environmental samples taken in Iran, which could mean Tehran has been enriching uranium without informing the UN nuclear watchdog, diplomats said.

The diplomats, who asked not to be named, said initial analysis showed enrichment levels possibly consistent with an attempt to make weapons-grade material and high enough to cause concern at the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA).

Iran said later on Friday that the IAEA had not told it about any findings.

“The International Atomic Energy Agency has not told Iran about this issue,” Khalil Mousavi, spokesman for Iran’s Atomic Energy Organisation, said. “As soon as the agency takes a stance on this, then we will announce our stance,” he said.
