From the Washington Post:
MANAMA, Bahrain — The U.N. nuclear watchdog confirmed Monday that Tehran has broken a stockpile limit for low-enriched uranium allowed under a 2015 nuclear deal between Iran and world powers, a move that could add to friction with the United States.
Iran’s total stockpile of low-enriched uranium on Monday exceeded the 300-kilogram (660-pound) limit allowed under the deal, International Atomic Energy Agency spokesman Fredrik Dahl said.
Great. Just phucking great.
And why did they do this? I’ll give you one guess:
Iran had repeatedly threatened to cross the limit laid out in the deal for its stockpile of low-enriched uranium unless it received some kind of relief from sanctions, arguing that it has been constrained by the accord but unable to reap the benefits of it since the United States pulled out last year.
So, mister art-of-the-deal, where’s the better deal?
I have a lot of questions. I also have a ton of work, so I’ll do my best to get more information.
