IAEA to hold emergency meeting on Iran on 10 July
UN’s nuclear watchdog, the International Atomic Energy Agency has said it will hold an emergency meeting on Iran’s nuclear programme on July 10.
It is being held days after Tehran breached one of the limits set in a 2015 deal with world powers. Iran’s breach of the amount of enriched uranium it could stockpile.
The IAEA confirmed earlier this week that Iran had breached the limit of 300kg for stockpiles of enriched uranium as stipulated under the 2015 Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action.
The US statement described the news of the breach as concerning.
Iran has said that as of Sunday it will begin breaking another key limit set in the JCPOA, which restricts the enrichment level of its uranium stockpile to 3.67 percent.
