The UN nuclear watchdog says it believes Iran has further increased its stockpile of highly enriched uranium. Officials from the agency are expected to visit Tehran later in November. The International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) on Thursday voiced concern over uncertainties surrounding Iran's nuclear program and criticized Tehran for barring the body's officials from accessing nuclear sites. "The longer the current situation persists, the greater such uncertainty becomes," the UN watchdog said in a new report. The IAEA also said it was still waiting for an explanation from Tehran about the origin of undeclared uranium particles that were detected at three locations.
