Reuters: Iran to work on nuclear-powered vessels after U.S. 'violation' of deal
Iran ordered its scientists on Tuesday to start developing systems for nuclear-powered marine vessels in response to what it calls a U.S. violation of its landmark 2015 atomic deal with world powers.
Nuclear experts said that President Hassan Rouhani's move, if carried out, would probably require Iran to enrich uranium to a fissile purity above the maximum level set in the nuclear deal to allay fears of Tehran building an atomic bomb.
Rouhani's announcement marked Tehran's first concrete reaction to a decision by the U.S.
Congress last month to extend some sanctions on Tehran that would also make it easier to reimpose others lifted under the nuclear pact.
