Iran Says Uranium Enrichment at Higher Level than before 2015 Pact
(Radio Free Europe-Radio Liberty) Iranian President Hassan Rouhani said Thursday that Iran is now enriching more uranium than it did before it agreed to the nuclear deal in 2015. The country has lifted all limits on its production of enriched uranium, which can be used to make nuclear weapons. Iran has breached its main limitations under the deal, exceeding the stockpiles of heavy water and uranium allowed, the number and types of centrifuges it can operate to enrich uranium, and the purity of uranium. On Jan. 14, Britain, France, and Germany warned that Tehran's actions were "inconsistent with the provisions of the nuclear agreement" and had "increasingly severe and non-reversible proliferation implications."
