Trump admin. imposes new limits on Iran's nuclear activities but stopped short of scrapping several waivers that allow Tehran to receive international assistance for the conversion of atomic sites for civilian uses.
But the administration said it would scrap other waivers allowing Iran to send heavy water to Oman and to trade surplus enriched uranium with other nations in return for natural or"yellowcake" uranium.
Restricting Iran's ability to unload enriched uranium over the designated limit will place additional pressure on Tehran, complicating the uranium enrichment it conducts under the terms of the 2015 deal, experts said. The announcement on nuclear restrictions follows a decision by President Trump last month to halt waivers for several countries that allowed them towithout being hit by U.S. sanctions. The Trump administration has vowed to choke off Iran's oil exports until it meets a list of demands, including ending its support for militants across the region, halting uranium enrichment and abandoning its pursuit of ballistic missiles.
Davenport added that the decision — combined with tougher sanctions on Iran's oil exports — could prompt Tehran to bail out of the 2015 deal and pursue nuclear weapons."If Iran withdraws from the agreement and resumes troublesome nuclear activities, Trump will be responsible for manufacturing the resulting crisis," she said.
