Iran: Uranium Enrichment at Higher Level Than Before Nuclear Pact

RFE/RL

   President Hassan Rohani says Iran is now enriching more uranium than
   the country did before it agreed to a nuclear deal with world powers in
   2015, as Tehran gradually scales back its commitments under the
   agreement."

   Pressure has increased on Iran, but we continue to progress," Rohani
   said in a televised speech on January 16. The country has lifted all
   limits on its production of enriched uranium, which can be used to make
   reactor fuel but also nuclear weapons.

   Iran has breached its main limitations, 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, in response
   to sanctions reinstated by the United States after President Donald
   Trump unilaterally abandoned the nuclear agreement in 2018.

   Trump wants Tehran to negotiate a new accord that would place
   indefinite curbs on its nuclear program and restrict Tehran's
   ballistic-missile program.
