Iran 'converting second batch of uranium into gas'

Defying the world, Iran revealed today it has begun converting a second batch of uranium into gas, a step that brings it closer to producing the enriched uranium used in either nuclear reactors or bombs.

The European Union, with US support, has been calling on Iran to halt conversion since August, when Britain, France and Germany broke off negotiations with the country after it announced it had re-started converting uranium “yellowcake” into gas, a process necessary for actual enrichment.
