Iran says it has passed the uranium enrichment cap set in 2015 nuclear deal

Iran has passed the 3.67% uranium enrichment cap set by its landmark 2015 nuclear deal and may enrich at even higher levels, the spokesman for Iran's Atomic Energy Organisation, Behrouz Kamalvandi, said on Monday according to the IRIB news agency.

Iran said on Sunday it would shortly boost uranium enrichment above the cap, prompting a warning to be careful from U.S. President Donald Trump, who has pressured Tehran to renegotiate the pact.
