GENEVA/DUBAI - Iran threatened on Monday to restart deactivated centrifuges and ramp up enrichment of uranium to 20 percent purity as its next potential big moves away from a 2015 nuclear agreement that Washington abandoned last year.
In a separate standoff, Iran’s foreign minister accused Britain of “piracy” for seizing an Iranian oil tanker last week. Britain says the ship was bound for Syria in violation of European Union sanctions. Enriching uranium up to 20% purity would be a dramatic move, since that was the level Iran achieved before the deal, although back then it had a far larger stockpile than it is likely to be able to rebuild in the short term.
Still, the threatened measures also appear intended to be sufficiently ambiguous to hold back from fully repudiating the deal. Kamalvandi did not specify how much uranium Iran might purify to the higher level, nor how many centrifuges it would consider restarting. He did not mention other more advanced centrifuges, including the most advanced, the IR-8. Iran has said all the steps it is contemplating are reversible.
There is no pact anymore. America and Europe broke it, it's nugatory. So, they rather announce their next steps than threaten anybody.
Do you really think we believe anything you have to say? Killing people is wrong. No one wants war. JUST STOP
yearning for war before they perish like idiots
You forget to tell: Iran reacts after America broke deal and restored sanctions on Iran. At that moment Iran had not broken of left deal. Put your news in context please.
The whole world knows they are producing nuclear bomb, don’t know why all this fuss and discussions....just impose the sanctions right away
Why wouldn't they when the agreement was in place until an imbecile pulled purely to please his base
Iran is beginning to irritate me ....
To my understanding the US was not a signatory to the nuke deal. If I don't sign a contract, I don't have to comply with said contract. So, why is Trump getting the blame. He backed out of something harmful but not something we were committed to legally.
Well since realDonaldTrump broke the deal / agreement that was done, Iran no longer needs to do anything but protect their country & it's ppl They r saying Iran first just like the 🐴💩 Individual1 keeps saying about US . DT created this problem .
スノーデン観てますか?😢😢😢😢
Well, we had a deal, an agreement that by all accounts was being honored by Iran; but you know it got tRUmped. Go figure...
Station 44, you have a green light. Proceed with caution, but proceed! X443abz/:56h43.’
This happened under realDonaldTrump's watch.
There is chances the peace in MENA to be affected.The whole world expecting that the Iran should not do the nuclear enrichment
And the World will sit back, watch, and do nothing.... as we did with North Korea
