Tehran, June 18 (RHC)-- Iran’s atomic energy agency has announced it is just 10 days away from exceeding the limit of enriched uranium stockpile permitted under the 2015 Iran nuclear deal.  Iran started rolling back its compliance with the landmark agreement last month, following the U.S. withdrawal and the reimposition of sanctions last year.

Earlier, Iranian President Hassan Rouhani reiterated his ultimatum to European nations and other signatories that they must show “positive signals” in upholding the pact for Iran to maintain its commitment, as well.

This comes as the United States continues to blame Iran for attacking two oil tankers in the Gulf of Oman Thursday without offering any new evidence.  Secretary of State Mike Pompeo said the U.S. is considering a full range of options.  Some of the U.S. claims have been directly contradicted by the Japanese owner of one of the tankers.  Iran has denied any involvement and accused the Donald Trump administration of trying to sabotage diplomacy.
