The UN nuclear watchdog says its senior officials will hold talks in Iran by the end of November, with hopes of clarifying the country's nuclear issues.
The International Atomic Energy Agency, or IAEA, released reports on Iran's nuclear program on Thursday.
The IAEA says Iran has an estimated 62.3 kilograms of uranium, which is enriched to 60 percent of fissile purity, as of October 22. That's an increase of 6.7 kilograms since August. The purity is close to weapons-grade uranium, which is enriched to 90 percent or higher.
The nuclear deal of 2015 sets the upper limit of enrichment at 3.67 percent.
Former US President Donald Trump pulled his country out of the international nuclear deal with Iran, and negotiations to revive it have stalled.
The IAEA also says uranium particles have been found at several undeclared sites in the country.
The agency is to send senior officials to Tehran to discuss the matter, over which Iran has been reluctant to accept an IAEA probe. It has become one of the sticking points in negotiations to revive the nuclear deal.
