Iran to stop producing uranium close to weapons grade

11:50 - 21.11.2024


 November 21, Fineko/abc.az. Observers of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) record Iran's measures aimed at reducing the production of uranium close to weapons grade, ABC.AZ reports, referring to Bloomberg.

"Iran's commitment followed discussions between IAEA Director General Rafael Mariano Grossi and Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian this month in Tehran. Although the IAEA still needs to complete investigations into past Iranian activities, limiting Iran's reserves "would be important" to begin restoring confidence," the publication quotes data from the report.

This is a gesture towards de-escalation in relations with the U.S. and the future administration of the elected head of state, Donald Trump, who aims to contain Tehran as tightly as possible.
