Iran remains compliant with 2015 nuclear deal, IAEA reports

The International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) has once again reaffirmed Iran's full compliance with its commitments under the 2015 nuclear deal in the second such report after the US stopped fulfilling its side of the bargain and left the multilateral agreement in violation of international law.

According to Press TV, on Thursday, Reuters cited a confidential report by the UN atomic watchdog to its member states as saying that Iran has stayed within the limits set in the nuclear deal on its enriched uranium level, its stock of enriched uranium and other items.

"Timely and proactive cooperation by Iran in providing such access facilitates implementation of the Additional Protocol and enhances confidence," it said.

Reuters also cited an unnamed senior diplomat as saying that, "The production rate (of enriched uranium by Iran) is constant. There is no change whatsoever."

It added that the new quarterly report was similar in language to the one released in May, the same month that US President Donald Trump announced Washington's withdrawal from the nuclear accord in defiance of its own allies in the deal and the entire international community.

According to Thursday report, Iran has continued to provide the IAEA with the necessary access for inspections aimed at verifying Tehran's commitment to the nuclear deal -- officially called the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA).
