Iran has continued enriching uranium well over the limits laid down in the ailing 2015 deal with world powers, the UN nuclear watchdog says, with its stockpile now over 19 times the limit in the accord.

According to an International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) report seen by AFP, Iran’s stockpile as of August 21 stands at an estimated 3,940 kilograms, up 131.6 kilograms from the last quarterly report.
