Tehran is moving toward further enriching uranium with installing advanced centrifuges, UN’s International Atomic Energy Agency warned on Monday.

“All of the installed centrifuges had been prepared for testing with UF6,” the UN watchdog announced after visiting Tehran for the last two days.

The agency added that none of the installed centrifuges were tested at the time of the visit, but insisted that they were ready to do so.

According to an exclusive report on Sunday by Reuters citing diplomats, the International Atomic Energy Agency found traces of uranium at a “secret atomic warehouse” based in Tehran, which was previously mentioned by Israel’s prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu.

“The International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) is investigating the particle’s origin and has asked Iran to explain the traces. But Tehran has not done so, according to the diplomats,” said the reports.
