He told the Chatham Institute in London that if the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA) is abandoned, the world will face the threat of a nuclear crisis.
The International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) reported on Thursday that Iran has obeyed the deal’s regulations on restraining its nuclear program, adding that Iran’s store of uranium and heavy water does not exceed agreed limitations and its uranium enrichment purity remains capped at 3.67%.
