The International Atomic Energy Agency said Friday that Iran had enriched uranium and was in defiance of the U.N. Security Council. The finding that Iran was not in compliance was contained in a report prepared by IAEA chief Mohamed ElBaradei.


Britain followed with an announcement saying it will ask the Security Council to "increase the pressure on Iran."

 

Earlier, Iran's president said his country would pay no attention to international calls to halt its nuclear work.
