    Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad ordered his country's nuclear agency to begin enriching uranium for use in a medical-research reactor, ratcheting up Tehran's defiance over Western demands that it curb its nuclear ambitions. Iran has appeared eager to flex its muscles on the world stage despite recent threats by the U.S. of economic sanctions.
