Iran surpasses uranium enrichment limit

The purity level is enough to meet the country's need in providing fuel for the country's power plants. According to Behrouz Kamalvandi, the spokesman for the Atomic Energy Organization of Iran, the 20% enrichment is one of the third phase of Iran scaling down its commitments under the 2015 deal.

Many countries expressed concern over Tehran's plan to keep reducing its commitments to the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action. The US unilaterally withdrew from the agreement in 2018.
