DW: Iran uranium stockpile ’10 times limit’ set in nuclear deal

The UN’s atomic watchdog has said Tehran continues to violate limitations set in the 2015 landmark deal signed by world powers. The finding comes after Iran allowed the agency to inspect one of its sites.

Iran continues to increase its stockpile of enriched uranium in violation of the 2015 nuclear deal, but has started allowing access to sites where Tehran was suspected of having stored or used undeclared nuclear material, the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) said Friday.

According to the UN atomic watchdog, Iran’s stockpile of enriched uranium now stands at more than ten times the limit set down in the nuclear deal.

The limit was set at 300 kilograms (661 pounds) of enriched uranium in a particular compound form, which is the equivalent of 202.8 kg of uranium.
