Iran 'playing with fire' by breaching nuclear deal limit: Trump

TIL Desk/World/Washington/ United States President Donald Trump said that Iran is “playing with fire” after Tehran announced earlier in the day that it had exceeded the limit on enriched uranium reserves set under the 2015 nuclear deal.  “They [Iran] know what they’re doing,”. “They know what they’re playing with, and I think they’re playing with fire.”

The White House said earlier that Washington would continue to impose maximum pressure on the Iranian regime until it “ends its nuclear ambitions and malign behaviour.”  “Maximum pressure on the Iranian regime will continue until its leaders alter their course of action. The regime must end its nuclear ambitions and its malign behaviour,” the statement reads.

Citing an “informed source,” Iran’s news agency on Monday had reported that Iran has exceeded the amount of enriched uranium that it was allowed to have under a 2015 nuclear deal (officially called Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action).  The country stopped complying with some elements of the agreement in May, a year after the US unilaterally withdrew from the deal.
