Atomic Energy Agency officials, speaking on condition of anonymity,
say uranium gas has been fed into some machines Diplomats at the
United Nations Nuclear Agency say Iran has started small-scale uranium
enrichment, a process that produces fuel that can be used in nuclear
weapons and reactors.







 The International Atomic Energy Agency officials, speaking on
condition of anonymity, say uranium gas has been fed into some
machines. 

Iran had warned it would resume large-scale enrichment activities
after the I.A.E.A. referred it to the U.N. Security Council for
possible sanctions over its nuclear program.

Iran also further postponed talks set for this week with Russia about
a proposal to process uranium on Russian soil for use in Iran's
nuclear plants.

Russia has been pushing for the plan as a way to ease international
concerns that Iran might be aiming to produce weapons-grade uranium. 
Iran says its nuclear program is only intended to generate
electricity. Some information for this report was provided by AFP, AP
and Reuters.
