Iran Plans New Breach of Limits of Nuclear Agreement
Iran said it would begin enriching uranium beyond limits set in a 2015 nuclear deal, marking the second intentional violation in a week and putting the multiparty accord at risk of complete collapse.
Since President Trump pulled out of the pact last year, Tehran has warned it would step up nuclear activities in a bid to raise the pressure on Europe, China and Russia to provide relief from crippling U.S. economic sanctions and to raise costs to Washington of continuing its maximum-pressure campaign.
