Iran to abandon nuclear deal and step up uranium enrichment

Iran announced it would no longer abide by any limits on its enrichment of uranium in what could be the final blow to the country's 2015 nuclear deal.

According to Iranian state TV, the Iranian government said Sunday that the country would not comply with any elements of the unraveling 2015 nuclear deal with world powers, which was negotiated by the Obama administration. The announcement, which came after President Trump ordered the killing of top Iranian Gen. Qassem Soleimani on Thursday, raised concerns that the nation will move toward creating a nuclear weapon.
