Tehran - Iran said on Tuesday that it had removed the seals at its nuclear research centres, paving the way for the resumption of sensitive work, despite protests from the international community.
Mohammad Saidi, deputy head of Iran's Atomic Energy Agency said: "Iran has removed the seals at research centres with the agency's agreement."
Iran had announced last week that it would restart research into the nuclear fuel cycle, a process linked to uranium enrichment, ending a two-year suspension.
The United States, which accused Tehran of seeking to build nuclear weapons, reiterated on Monday that Iran might be referred to the UN security council over its action. But, Russia said dialogue was still the only way forward.
