Iran's president warned that his country could start enriching uranium faster if negotiations with the countries remaining in the nuclear deal aren't productive.
Responding to President Donald Trump's decision on Tuesday to withdraw from the deal, President Hassan Rouhani of Iran said that there's only a short time to negotiate with other countries as the U.S. ratchets up pressure on its allies to join it in rejecting the accord, reports The Associated Press.
Speaking on Iranian state television, Rouhani said that he'll be sending Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif to the countries still in the deal to negotiate ways to keep it afloat.
He went on the threaten that in the next weeks Iran would restart uranium enrichment, a key process for manufacturing nuclear fuel.
I have ordered Irans atomic organization that whenever it is needed, we will start enriching uranium more than before, Rouhani declared.
The Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JPCOA) is designed to place restrictions on Iran's nuclear program in exchange for relief from sanctions. But with Trump's decision to pull the U.S. out of the Obama-era deal, many European countries will be facing pressure to follow suit.
While French, German, and British leaders have come together in support of the deal, Trump's decision is the culmination of repeated promises he's made on the campaign trail and in office. Trump has often criticized the accord for not being tough enough in the limits placed on Iran's nuclear program.
Meanwhile, the European Union foreign policy chief, Federica Mogherini, called upon the other countries involved in the deal, including Russia and China, to respect its terms rather than joining the U.S. president's stance.
The nuclear deal with Iran is crucial for the security of the region, of Europe and of the entire world, Mogherini said while calling on Iran to not let anyone dismantle this agreement.
U.S. lawmakers remain divided on the issue as the international community grapples with how to respond to the sudden shift in U.S. diplomacy toward Iran.
Ummm, that means they never stopped?
As if they weren’t doing this already under their self-inspection program.
Wednesdays bombshell from the Associated Press. The news service reports that Iran will be allowed to use its own inspectors at the secret Parchin nuclear site under its secret side agreement with the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA).

We would gladly send them some enriched uranium along with some plutonium, like really, really fast...................
Well then Hamad Haboob al Wankistani....
You called it. Short time.
Ticking.
Choose wisely.
Exactly. And paid billions to do it.
Where did 0bama get the $billion in cash?
Bomb, bomb, bomb. Bomb, bomb Iran.
...well now that Hillery is a uranium dealer, we’ll just have to wait and see if Putin sells Hillery’s uranium...
Trump’s not amused by this crap...
I would be happy to send them a few kilo grams of plutonium to Teheran when the supreme council meets.

Rush Limbaugh was saying today that not only was this never ratified as a treaty, but that it was never really an agreement with Iran because Iran’s President refused to sign the agreement after it was negotiated.
Assuming this is correct, how can anyone even assume or assert that it really is (was) a political “agreement” between Obama and Iran???
And, has anyone seen or heard any references anywhere in the MSM to Iran’s leader’s earlier refusal to formally accept and sign this even as a non-treaty “agreement”?
I wonder why POTUS hasn’t yet publicly highlighted these facts?
If Iran starts openly enriching, they violate their deal with the Euros, Russia and China.
So now they are stuck with whatever restrictions are on them, but the US is once again free to topple their economy, covertly support subverting their regime, or attack them militarily.
“Where did 0bama get the $billion in cash?”
From us.
Some freepers like to trot out old Big Media articles to “prove” to us that “it was their money anyway”.
Anyone who thinks they stopped is ignorant.
We can proceed with our cluster bomb manufacturers enrichment.
Yes. But exactly where? What account? Congress did not authorize this.
Yah, I don’t know. I recall it wasn’t all US dollars, so it was as shady as it gets.
