Iran vowed to increase its output of enriched uranium in defiance of US demands ahead of a round of nuclear talks overshadowed by fears of an Israeli attack.

Iran said it will inaugurate a new uranium-enrichment facility in response to a decision by the United Nations atomic watchdog to censure the Islamic Republic over its nuclear program, deepening the oil-rich nation’s crisis with the US and Israel.
