Vienna - Iran has started small-scale enrichment of uranium - a process that can produce fuel for nuclear reactors or bombs, diplomats said on Monday.

"Uranium gas has been fed into three machines," said one senior diplomat familiar with Iran's nuclear file.

The diplomat asked not to be named as he was not authorised to speak on the matter.

To produce significant amounts of enriched uranium, gas must be fed into hundreds of such machines.

Uranium enriched to a low degree can be used for nuclear reactors, while highly enriched uranium is suitable for warheads.
