Trump's withdrawal prompted Iran to steadily overstep the accord's limits on its nuclear program designed to make it harder to develop an atomic bomb - an ambition Tehran denies
Iran has made 55 kg of uranium enriched to up to 20% - the point at which it is highly enriched - indicating quicker production the 10 kg a month rate required by an Iranian law that created the process in January, Iranian authorities said on Wednesday.
The disclosure comes a day after Tehran and Washington held what they described as "constructive" indirect talks in Vienna on Tuesday aimed at finding ways to revive a 2015 nuclear deal between Iran and world powers.

The law required Iran to start enriching to 20% and stipulated that at least 120 kg (265 pounds) of uranium refined to that level be made each year, which amounts to 10 kg a month.
Iran's production rate is already "up to 40%" faster than that, Atomic Energy Organization spokesman Behrouz Kamalvandi indicated.
"In less than four months we have produced 55 kg of 20% enriched uranium ... in around eight months we can reach 120 kg," Kamalvandi told state TV.
As part of a recent acceleration of its breaches of the nuclear deal, in January Iran began enriching uranium to 20% at Fordow, an underground uranium enrichment site that was built in secret inside a mountain possibly to withstand any aerial bombardment.
Under the deal, Tehran is not allowed to enrich uranium at Fordow at all.
Until January, Iran had not enriched beyond 4.5% purity - above the deal's limit of 3.67% but still far below the 20% it achieved before the deal, or the 90% that is weapons-grade.

But all this enrichment actually is taking place since January under Biden. They started enriching once they were sure Trump was out of office.
Which to me indicates that Biden's regime has lost all control of the negotiations.

I’ve tried calling congressional offices on the subject... they don’t care
Whack pots in control
Boeing owns Congress and they want to sell airplanes to Iran.
We’re about to see the greatest proliferation of nuclear weapons since the 1950s. Once Iran tests its first device, every Shia monarchy in the Middle East is going to want their own.
Israel would be nuts to not preemptively strike Tehren.
It is amazing to me that American Jewry and American politicians do not seem to take seriously Israel’s declaration, “never again.” It also seems that Iran is blind to that fact, and is now toying with its own destruction. In sum, Armageddon is just around the corner.
The Iranians have spelled out *exactly* what they have planned on many occasions. I think that Israelis of today are likely to pay heed.
Not a matter if they have one it’s a matter of how many nukes.
If they’ve done it in four months they waited until the election and saw it was Biden and acted accordingly then they accelerated in January. None of that is on Trump
Israel has zero choice but to stop Iran’s nuke program...the norks may sell ready to go nukes to Iran also...The Saudis will assist Israel and should...
America won’t wake up to the threats we face until Iran or another rogue state uses a nuke.
