TEHRAN (Reuters) - One step from U.N. Security Council referral, Iran confirmed that it had started processing a new batch of uranium at its Isfahan nuclear plant, chief nuclear negotiator Ali Larijani was quoted on Friday as saying.

'We had informed the U.N. watchdog that Iran wanted to process a new batch of uranium and we have started it,' the semi-official Mehr news agency quoted Larijani as saying.

Accused by Western nations of running a covert atomic weapons programme, Iran had informed the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) late October that it planned to process a new batch of uranium without giving a specific date.
