China News Service, May 31 (Xinhua) According to Agence France-Presse, on the 30th local time, the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) released a report saying that Iran's enriched uranium stockpile is more than 18 times the level stipulated in the Iran nuclear deal.
Under the Iran nuclear deal reached in 2015, Iran pledged to limit its nuclear program, including enriching uranium to 3.67 percent and capping its stock at 202.8 kilograms, in exchange for the lifting of international sanctions.
The International Atomic Energy Agency's report stated that "it is estimated that as of May 15, 2022, Iran's total enriched uranium was 3,809.3 kilograms".
In addition, the report also pointed out that Iran's enriched uranium abundance has exceeded the 3.67% limit set by the International Atomic Energy Agency, and continues to increase the abundance of uranium.
In July 2015, Iran reached a comprehensive agreement on the Iranian nuclear issue with the United States, Britain, France, Russia, China and Germany.
Under the agreement, Iran pledged to limit its nuclear program and the international community lifted sanctions against Iran.
In May 2018, the U.S. government unilaterally withdrew from the Iran nuclear deal, and then restarted and added a series of sanctions against Iran.
Since May 2019, Iran has gradually suspended the implementation of some of the terms of the Iran nuclear deal and increased the enrichment of uranium to 4.5%.
Iran also promised that the measures taken were "reversible".
