Iran now produces everything it needs for the nuclear fuel cycle, making its nuclear program self-sufficient, the head of the country's Atomic Energy Organization told state media Sunday.

The Islamic republic has begun producing yellowcake, Ali Akbar Salehi told Press TV.

Yellowcake is an intermediate stage in producing uranium ores, Press TV said.

The United States and its allies fear that Iran is trying to produce a nuclear bomb, but Iran has denied the allegations.
