The decision does not violate international treaties that allow Tehran to make centrifuge parts for peaceful nuclear energy. But the move does break an agreement Iran signed with France, Britain, and Germany, in which it promised to suspend nuclear efforts as a goodwill gesture toward earning trade incentives with the EU.
