VIENNA/TOKYO - Iran is on course to breach a threshold in its nuclear agreement with world powers within days by accumulating more enriched uranium than permitted, although it has not done so yet, diplomats said, citing the latest data from U.N. inspectors.
A week after Trump called off air strikes on Iran minutes before impact, world leaders are trying to pull the two countries back from the brink, warning that a mistake on either side could lead to war. Macron said he had two priorities: de-escalating military tension and keeping Iran from violating the accord, which European countries still hope to save even though Trump ignored their advice and quit it last year.
The United States sharply tightened its sanctions last month, ordering all countries to halt purchases of Iranian oil, the main source of revenue to feed Iran’s 80 million people. Since the aborted air strikes last week there have been no major incidents, but rhetoric on both sides has become menacing.
The Trump administration says its ultimate goal is to force Iran back to the table for negotiations. It argues that the 2015 deal, negotiated under Trump’s predecessor Barack Obama, was too weak because it is not permanent and does not cover non-nuclear issues, such as Iran’s missile program and regional behavior.
Deals
Before the JCPOA was signed in 2015, Iran had over 25,000 lbs of low-enriched uranium. The current limit that they're exceeding is 660lbs, or less than 3% of their pre-JCPOA stockpile. Iran is testing the waters but largely adhering to the deal. The U.S. is not
Well done trump 👎 ImpeachTrump
They were shown a “drum”,but heard no sounds,so they may exceed or even succeed.
On Trump’s List of Blunders. Now he’s scrambling to make a deal with them.
Congratulations Trump, you did it! Well done Republicans!
It was fun while it lasted fellas.
Go ahead, act surprised. This was always their plan, they're just doing it openly now that Trump is not letting us be party to the nuclear deal scam any longer. Iran needs to be broken. Now.
Iran to exceed nuclear pact in days.🧐🤨🇺🇸😔🇮🇷
Trump will feel that he has to do something
Isn't the agreement still in effect with the other countries? If so they are breaking the agreement with them. We were not the only participants, but we were the only ones that would hold them to the agreement.
The deal that the US left...so logically the US has no foundation to enforce anything. The deal says they must sell anything that goes over that limit, yet US sanctions on Iran prevent them from selling the excess. Who is the aggressor again?

Is Trump’s Iran policy leading to war?The relationship between Iran and the U.S. has worsened since the Trump administration pulled out of the Iran nuclear deal and reimposed sanctions. A June 13 attack on two oil tankers that the U.S. blamed on Iran set off a sequence of retaliation. After Iran shot down a U.S. drone, President Trump considered bombing Iran, but called it off at the last minute. \n\nTrump believes the threats of military action combined with the sanctions will force Iran to go back to the bargaining table. Trump wants a tougher new accord. He has said he doesn't want war, but his national security adviser, John Bolton, has been publicly calling for an attack on Iran for more than a decade. TheStephSy With Khomeini Iran yes Unscrupulousness and cowardice of European libidemo, this is what can lead to war. Hope is only for the Jewish diaspora in the financial elite of the geyropy. realDonaldTrump FLOTUS GOP TheJusticeDept WhiteHouse trump you think he wants to negotiate with you?!?! Seriously?! Ha!
