Iran says the last chance for saving its 2015 nuclear deal with world powers will pass after a 60-day deadline.
Iran remains open to diplomacy to save its 2015 nuclear deal with world powers but has"no hope" in the international community, the country's Foreign Ministry spokesman said Monday, as the Islamic Republic broke the limit the agreement put on its enrichment of uranium.
Meanwhile, he called the seizure of an Iranian supertanker off the coast of Gibraltar"piracy" but stopped short of suggesting Iran take actions against ships transiting through the Strait of Hormuz, the narrow mouth of the Persian Gulf through which 20% of all crude oil passes. Trump warned Tehran on Sunday that"Iran better be careful." He didn't elaborate on what actions the U.S. might consider, but Trump told reporters:"Iran's doing a lot of bad things."
The decision to ramp up uranium enrichment came less than a week after Iran acknowledged breaking the deal's 300-kilogram limit on its low-enriched uranium stockpile. Experts warn higher enrichment and a growing stockpile could begin to narrow the one-year window Iran would need to have enough material for an atomic bomb, something Iran denies it wants but the deal prevented.
He also gave a sharp, yet unelaborated warning to Europe about another 60-day deadline Iran set Sunday. That deadline will come Sept. 5, though Iran's senior Vice President Eshaq Jahangiri on Monday described the deadline as being Sept. 7. The two dates could not be immediately reconciled. Meanwhile, Mousavi said he didn't know where an Iranian supertanker was heading when it was seized off the coast of Gibraltar. Authorities there say they seized the Grace 1, believed to be carrying over 2 million barrels of oil, over European Union sanctions on Syria — though Spain said the seizure came at the request of the U.S.
