GENEVA (AN) — Iran announced on Sunday it will no longer comply with most of the nonproliferation limits under the 2015 nuclear deal it signed with world powers, angrily reacting to a U.S. airstrike that killed a top Iranian general in Baghdad.
The government's announcement via state television confirmed it will abandon nearly all the restrictions it agreed to impose on its nuclear ambitions in exchange for the lifting of international sanctions, but it remains open to United Nations-led monitoring and negotiations with European signatories to the deal.
