Iran has breached a uranium enrichment cap set by a 2015 nuclear deal and warned Europe against taking retaliatory measures.
About:
Iran surpassed the cap and reached 4.5 % enrichment.
This was announced by the country's atomic energy organisation spokesman Behrouz Kamalvandi who said that this level of purity completely satisfies the power plant fuel requirements of the country.
He hinted that Iran might stick to this level of enrichment for the time being, which is well below the more than 90 % level required for a nuclear warhead.
The UN nuclear watchdog, the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA), confirmed that Iran had enriched uranium to a level above the deal's cap.
The move came more than a year after United States pulled out of the landmark accord between world powers and Iran, which says it has lost patience with perceived inaction by the remaining European partners.
