Iran remains in compliance with the 2015 nuclear deal, a new UN watchdog report shows, four weeks after US President Donald Trump refused to certify the agreement.
The quarterly International Atomic Energy Agency update confirms that key parameters of Iran’s nuclear program remained within the limits of the accord with major powers.
The restricted report, seen by AFP, says Iran “has not enriched” uranium above low levels and that its stockpile of enriched uranium was under the agreed limit of 300 kilograms (660 pounds).
The new IAEA report says the number of enrichment centrifuges installed at Iran’s Natanz site remained below the upper limit of 5,060 during the reporting period.
The volume of heavy water — a reactor coolant — remained below the agreed maximum of 130 tons throughout the past three months and on November 6 was 114.4 tonnes.
The IAEA assessment showed that, aside from on heavy water, a relatively minor breach, Tehran has complied with the deal since its entry into force in January 2016.
