Iran’s 60-day nuclear deal deadline to Europe to expire Sunday
Tehran (KNA) - Iran’s 60-day deadline for the European signatories to a 2015 nuclear deal to meet their end of the bargain will expire on Sunday, when Tehran will begin to enrich uranium beyond limits set by the nuclear accord, officially known as the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA).
In the second phase of scaling down its JCPOA commitments, Iran plans to increase the purity of its enriched uranium on Sunday, no longer sticking to the 3.67% limit it had agreed to in the deal.
Back in May, Iran notified the remaining partners in the nuclear deal that it would suspend the implementation of some of its commitments in reaction to the US' unilateral withdrawal and Europe's failure to live up to its commitments.
Here is a timeline for major events regarding the nuclear deal:
July 5, 2019: The International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) said it will hold an emergency meeting on Iran next week, a few days after a planned increase in the level of Iran's uranium enrichment.
