(MENAFN)US Secretary of State Antony Blinken declared that Iran has made a lot progress in nuclear industry in the two terms of “material” and “knowledge” since the Trump administration quit the nuclear deal, (JCPOA), in May 2018.
Following the US withdrawn of the nuclear deal Iran started to “ignore the constraints that the deal had imposed on” its nuclear program, Blinken further reported to CBS News on “Face the Nation” program.
Iran started to eliminate bans on its nuclear work exactly one year after Trump removed the US from the JCPOA and introduced the harshest sanctions on Iran. Even at the time Iran declared if the European parties to the pact compensate Iran for the sanctions, the Islamic Republic is going to invert its decision.
Iran “has been galloping forward and it's enriching more material. It's enriching at- at higher levels- degrees than were allowed under the agreement… it is gaining knowledge. And if this goes on a lot longer, if they continue to gallop ahead… they're going to have knowledge that's going to be very hard to reverse, which I think puts some urgency in seeing if we can put the nuclear problem back in the box that the agreement had put it in and, unfortunately, Iran is now out of as a result of us pulling out of the agreement,” Blinken added.
