President Hassan Rouhani Says Iran Is Now Enriching More Uranium Than It Did Before 2015 Deal



Daily Mail: Iran warns it is enriching more uranium now than it did before agreeing to a nuclear deal with world powers in 2015

* President Hassan Rouhani said there was 'no limit' on Iran's nuclear programme
* He spoke as EU's top diplomat met Iran's foreign minister to try and save deal
* Rising tensions raise fears Iran could be close to becoming a nuclear power

Iran's president warned today there is 'no limit' on the country's uranium enrichment programme since it abandoned the global nuclear deal in response to the killing of its top general in a US airstrike.

President Hassan Rouhani said in a televised speech: 'We are enriching more uranium than before the deal was reached ... Pressure has increased on Iran but we continue to progress.'

The speech increased fears Iran could be close to building its own nuclear weapons as European diplomats try desperately to salvage the 2015 deal which President Donald Trump withdrew from in 2018.

WNU Editor: I take this as an official declaration that Iran's agreement to limit its nuclear program is now dead. So where are the international sanctions?
