The International Atomic Energy Agency confirmed yesterday that Iran’s stockpile of low-enriched uranium has exceeded the limit of 300kg set under its 2015 nuclear deal with world powers.
Iranian Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif says the move is ‘reversible’, but warned Iran could continue to reduce its commitment to the agreement if Europe does not take necessary action to uphold their side of the deal.
The stockpile is not enough to build a nuclear weapon, however Iranian officials have warned on July 7th they will increase work to enrich uranium closer to weapons grade if they cannot secure sanctions relief.
