Iran on Tuesday started to enrich its uranium to the 20-per-cent level, the Arabic network of state television reported.
But the report by Al-Alam network had not yet been confirmed by the Iranian Atomic Energy Organization, DPA reported.
The uranium enriched to 20 per cent is to be used for nuclear fuel for a medical research reactor in Tehran, Iran said earlier.
