"[International Atomic Energy Agency] Director General Yukiya Amano has informed the IAEA Board of Governors that Agency inspectors on July 8 verified that Iran is enriching uranium above 3.67% U-235," an IAEA spokesman said.
A report to member states obtained by Reuters said that the agency had verified the enrichment level using online enrichment monitors, and that samples had also been taken on Monday for analysis.
