In a confidential report, the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) said that Iran agreed to "increase the frequency and intensity of the implementation of safeguards measures" at its Fordow uranium enrichment facility. A week earlier, the IAEA had reported that Iran was accelerating enrichment at Fordow to produce at least 35 kg of uranium enriched to 60% purity a month, up from 5-7 kg a month previously.
