UN watchdog says Iran sticking to nuclear deal

Iran is still sticking to the 2015 nuclear accord, a UN atomic watchdog report says, four months ahead of US President Donald Trump’s deadline to fix its “disastrous flaws.”

The International Atomic Energy Agency document, the ninth since the deal came into force in January 2016, shows Iran complying with the accord’s key parameters.

The number of centrifuges to enrich uranium is below the agreed level of 5,060, while Iran’s total stockpile of low-enriched uranium “has not exceeded 300 kg,” says the report.
