Tehran, Iran, Dec. 16 – Iran is the 7th country in the world that is producing Uranium Hexaflouride (UF6), the deputy head of Iran's Atomic Energy Organization (IAEO) Mohammad Qannadi said on Monday.

Qannadi told the official state news agency IRNA that there is a factory in Iran producing the UF6.

The International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) has accused Tehran of stonewalling its efforts to discover whether its nuclear projects have a military nature.

The United Nations Security Council unanimously adopted Resolution 1835 in late September, demanding that Tehran comply with previous sanctions resolutions ordering a halt to uranium enrichment.
