IRAN has played down a United Nations report that said Iranian nuclear scientists had enriched uranium to a higher-than-expected level, state media reported yesterday.
On Friday, the International Atomic Energy Agency reported that samples taken in February showed particles with enrichment levels of up to 27 percent - putting Iran further down the road to making potentially weapons-grade uranium.
"This matter is a routine technical discussion that is currently being reviewed by experts," the Islamic Republic's news agency IRNA quoted Iran's permanent representative to the IAEA, Ali Asghar Soltanieh, as saying.
