Iran boosted its sensitive stockpile of highly enriched uranium just before a 12-day war with Israel broke out, a confidential report by the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) seen by AFP on Wednesday showed.

The UN nuclear watchdog's quarterly report said that Iran has an estimated 440.9 kilograms enriched to up to 60 percent as of 13 June, up by 32.3 kilograms since 17 May.
