The head of the United Nations agency that oversees the Iranian nuclear deal warned Tehran on Thursday to stick to the accord after it was found for the second time to have breached one of its terms, The Wall Street Journal reported.<\/p>\n
The International Atomic Energy Agency said last week that Iran’s regime had stockpiled slightly more than the allowable 130 metric tons of heavy water. Spent fuel can be taken from the heavy water to produce plutonium for a nuclear weapon.<\/p>\n
Yukiya Amano, head of the IAEA, told the agency\u2019s board that it was the second time the Iranian regime\u2019s inventory had exceeded 130 metric tons. He confirmed that Tehran had pledged to transfer excess heavy water out of the country under the agency\u2019s supervision.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt is important that such situations should be avoided in future in order to maintain international confidence in the implementation of the JCPOA, which represents a clear gain for nuclear verification in Iran,\u201d Mr. Amano said, referring to the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action, the nuclear accord\u2019s formal name.<\/p>\n
On Thursday at the agency\u2019s Board meeting, U.S. ambassador to the IAEA Laura Holgate said \u201cIran must strictly adhere to all commitments\u201d and urged Tehran to take steps to ensure its stockpile of heavy water was \u201cwell beneath\u201d 130 metric tons.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe urge Iran to complete without delay its plan to resolve this issue,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
