Iran Complying with Nuclear Pact, Says UN Agency IAEA

Iran Complying with Nuclear Pact, Says UN Agency IAEA

The United Nations nuclear agency reports Iran is complying with a milestone agreement to limit stockpiles of key ingredients that can be used to produce nuclear weapons. The International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) said Iran's stockpiles of heavy water and uranium are within the limits that were agreed upon last year ... In July 2015, a deal for Iran to limit stockpiles of the materials was reached with Britain, China, France, Germany, Russia and the United States. In exchange for the agreement, U.N. and Western sanctions on Iran were lifted, including the country's valuable oil exports. But the U.S. has maintained its sanctions on Iran due to the Persian Gulf country's alleged sponsorship of arms shipments in the Middle East and its ballistic missile program.
