Iran Press/Iran news: "We have NOT violated the #JCPOA. Paragraph 36 of the accord illustrates why: We triggered & exhausted paragraph 36 after US withdrawal. We gave E3+2 a few weeks while reserving our right," Iranian Foreign Minister said on Monday.
"We finally took action after 60 weeks," the top Iranian diplomat wrote on his Twitter account hours after he told reporters that Iran’s stockpile of enriched uranium has exceeded 300 kg as planned in reaction to Europeans' lack of action to carry out their obligations under the deal, Mehr News Agency reported.
"As soon as E3 abide by their obligations, we'll reverse," Zarif also went on as saying in the same tweet.
He has also attached an image of the part of the JCPOA articles which stipulate Iran's rights to do so.
On Jul 01, Iran increased its enriched uranium stockpile up to the 300-kilogram limit determined in its nuclear deal.
Revelations came after the spokesman for the Atomic Energy Organization of Iran, Behrouz Kamalvandi, said on June 26, the country’s stockpile of the 3.67%-enriched uranium would surpass 300 kg in a ten-day period from June 27.
Iran’s decision to reduce commitments to the JCPOA comes in response to the violations of other signatories to the agreement. It says it will reconsider its decisions once the European sides start living up to their commitments. 104
