IAEA Report Confirms that Iran is continuing to violate the 2015 nuclear deal

The United Nations' nuclear watchdog dog has affirmed in a report that Iran has started operating centrifuges at an underground site yet says the nation's uranium-enriching capacities have not fundamentally expanded. 

 However, during the Wednesday news conference in Vienna, International Atomic Energy Agency Director General Rafael Grossi told journalists that 174 centrifuges had been moved into another region of Iran's Natanz atomic site and had as of late started work. 

 He added that the operating the centrifuges of that type was in breach of the Iran atomic deal marked in 2015, known as the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action, or JCPOA. Grossi mentioned the operation would not prompt a more noteworthy output of enriched uranium. However, he added that Iran was at that point had already breached the Uranium deal's limit. 

 "As a rule terms, there is no huge expansion in the volumes, since as I referenced, they had just been working in a different place. However, it's a subtlety there. It is something that isn't inside the restrictions of the JCPOA," Grossi added. 

 Iran has been required to explain the process to IAEA inspectors, yet the clarifications "have not been acceptable, says Grossi.

 The Associated Press reports a classified record disseminated to member JCPOA nations a week ago revealing Iran as of November 2 had a store of 2,442.9 kilograms of low-enriched uranium. However, this was higher than the 2,105.4 kilograms which were prior reported on August 25. 

 The atomic agreement marked by Germany, the United States, France, China, Britain, and Russia permit Iran just to keep a store of 202.8 kilograms. The IAEA report stated that Iran has likewise been proceeding to enrich uranium to an immaculateness of up to 4.5%, higher than the 3.67% permitted under the agreement. 

 On November 17, the Foreign Minister of Iran announced that it will "consequently" return to its atomic commitments if the new U.S. President-elect Joe Biden lifts sanctions forced in the course of recent years. 

 Biden has promised that he would work towards altering parts of the nuclear agreement once Iran is back in agreement. 

 While Trump has looked to amplify pressure on Iran and isolate it universally, Biden has proposed to bring to the table the of diplomacy.

 Natanz is Iran's principal uranium-enrichment site and for which the U.S. President Donald Trump asked for alternatives to attack as per the New York Times report. 

 The atomic deal, which the United States pulled out from in 2018, states that Iran can only collect enriched uranium with first IR-1 machines and they could only centrifuge it can work at its underground plant at Natanz, evidently worked to withstand an aerial attack. 

 The IAEA report indicated Tehran had introduced progressed equipment underground at Natanz, having moved them from an over-the-ground plant where it was at that point enriched uranium with centrifuges in the breaking of the agreement.

 Speaking to the IAEA board in Vienna, the U.S. ambassador to the organization expressed Iran's activities as "straightforward endeavors at coercion."
