Iran Says It Surpasses Uranium Stockpile Limit in 2015 Nuclear Accord

Ken Bredemeier

   WASHINGTON - Iran announced Monday that it has exceeded the limit on
   its stockpile of low-enriched uranium it agreed to in the 2015
   international accord restraining its nuclear weapons development.

   Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif told the semi-official news
   agency ISNA, "Iran has crossed the 300-kilogram limit ...," which
   curtailed its stockpile of uranium enriched up to 3.67%.

   The United Nations atomic watchdog agency confirmed Monday that Iran
   had exceeded the limits imposed by the deal.

   Iran's announcement is believed to be the first time that Iran has
   broken one of the provisions of the pact it agreed to with six world
   powers, including the United States, and the European Union in exchange
   for lifting of economic sanctions against Tehran. The U.S. withdrew
   from the accord last year.
