VIENNA (AP) — The United Nations’ atomic watchdog agency says Iran has continued to increase its stockpiles of enriched uranium and remains in violation of its deal with world powers.

The International Atomic Energy Agency reported the finding Friday in a confidential document distributed to member countries and seen by The Associated Press.

The agency said that as of May 20, Iran’s total stockpile of low-enriched uranium amounted to 1,571.6 kilograms (1.73 tons), up from 1,020.9 kilograms (1.1 tons) on Feb. 19.

Iran signed the nuclear deal in 2015 with the United States, Germany, France, Britain, China and Russia. Known as the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action, or JCPOA, it allows Iran only to keep a stockpile of 202.8 kilograms (447 pounds).

1. Trump broke the deal not Iran

End of story.

[Zambero]

2. Shocked!

How can this be???

(rarely necessary anymore, but what the heck!)

[scarletwoman]

3. Sort of a "well, duh" and "no shit, Sherlock" kind of news, isn't it?

Maybe we'll be able to get our glorious Iran War on as a parting gift from the trump administration.

4. And who can blame them?

With the demented turd-in-chief occupying the White House, they should be very concerned of being attacked! Between the US and Israel both being off-the-charts idiots, having a nuclear deterrent is very prudent.

5. Hold on ....

How can they violate an agreement that no longer exists?

[Mosby]

10. Because the JCPOA was signed by other countries.

So it's still in force.

And it's backed up by United Nations Security Council resolution 2231.

The Iranian regime has violated international law.

6. well, if I had a fascist country armed with nukes trying to destroy my country I would be defending

myself with whatever it takes too.

[thesquanderer]

7. This is why it will be harder to get good agreements in the future...

...because these countries can point to what happened here and say, "You want us to trust your good faith, but how can we be sure that some nut like Trump doesn't come into power again? We can't let ourselves be vulnerable to that."

[yaesu]

8. yep, the tRump thiefdom destroyed any chance of peace between the 2 countries. nt

9. If I were Iran, I would now make the all out run for a nuclear device and test it.

Once ur in the nuclear club, you get treated a LOT differently.

Ask Pakistan, India, China, Israel and North Korea.

[Mosby]

11. Israel will stop them, just like they did with Saddam and Assad

Who both had started nuclear weapon programs, that were destroyed by the Israeli military.
