Iran said on Sunday it would no longer abide by its commitments to the 2015 nuclear accord it signed with world powers, signalling the deal’s collapse as the fallout from the US killing of a top Iranian commander intensified.
Iranian state television quoted a government statement as saying that Tehran would not abide by the limitations on the number of centrifuges used for enrichment, its stockpiles of enriched uranium, or its nuclear research and development.
The announcement came hours after hundreds of thousands of Iranians gathered in Mashhad, Iran’s holiest city, to mourn Qassem Soleimani, who was killed by US air strikes in Baghdad on Friday.
