VIENNA—Iran continues to increase its stockpile of enriched uranium in violation of limitations set in a landmark deal with world powers, the U.N.’s atomic watchdog agency said Friday after the country allowed the regulator access to sites where it was suspected of having stored or used undeclared nuclear material and possibly conducted nuclear-related activities.

The International Atomic Energy Agency reported in a confidential document distributed to member countries and seen by The Associated Press that Iran as of Aug. 25 had stockpiled 2,105.4 kilograms (2.32 tons) of low-enriched uranium—up from 1,571.6 kilograms (1.73 tons) last reported on May 20.
