UK to Breach Iran Nuclear Deal and Refuse to Lift Sanctions


(The Guardian) Patrick Wintour - The UK and other European powers are expected to announce plans to breach the 2015 Iran nuclear deal for the first time when they confirm they are not going to lift sanctions on Tehran's use of missiles this October as required in the agreement. Donald Trump took the U.S. out of the nuclear deal in 2018, but Germany, France, and the UK remained inside the deal, even though Iran responded to the U.S. walkout by breaching the agreed limits on the quality and quantity of enriched uranium. Iran is closer to producing weapons-grade uranium than ever before. The justification cited by EU and British diplomats included Iran's own breach of the accord, formally known as the JCPOA, Iran's sale of drones to Russia for use in its invasion of Ukraine, and the possible future transfers to Russia of Iran's ballistic missiles.
