JUST IN: Iran says it is ending its commitment to the 2015 nuclear deal with world powers in the wake of the US strike that killed Gen. Qassem Soleimani.
The agreement placed limits on Tehran’s uranium enrichment, the amount of stockpiled enriched uranium as well as research and development in its nuclear activities.
America’s European allies have attempted to salvage the deal despite Trump’s decision to withdraw and reimpose sanctions, but Iran has gradually reduced its commitments and now leaves the deal in tatters. The country’s foreign ministry said earlier Sunday that recent events meant it would take an even bigger step away from the deal than initially planned.
The news came as fallout from the killing of Soleimani, one of Iran’s most powerful military and political figures, stoked growing tensions in the Middle East.As the Islamic Republic welcomed Soleimani’s body home for a grand funeral, its leaders continued to vow revenge for his death.
