Iran Says It No Longer Will Honor Nuclear Enrichment Limits Under 2015 Pact Sunday Jan 05,2020

Iran on Sunday  Jan 05,2020 said it no longer will comply with limits on uranium enrichment under its 2015 nuclear pact, as hundreds of thousands gathered across the country to mourn the death of a military leader killed Friday in a U.S. airstrike in Iraq.

In 2015, Iran agreed a long-term deal on its nuclear programme with a group of world powers known as the P5+1 - the US, UK, France, China, Russia and Germany.

It came after years of tension over Iran's alleged efforts to develop a nuclear weapon. Iran insisted that its nuclear programme was entirely peaceful, but the international community did not believe that.

Under the accord, Iran agreed to limit its sensitive nuclear activities and allow in international inspectors in return for the lifting of crippling economic sanctions.

Here are the commitments set out in the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action
