The development comes a day after Tasnim News Agency reported that Iran would announce further steps towards scaling back its commitments under the 2015 nuclear deal amid a new set of US sanctions against Tehran, APA reports citing Sputnik.
Iranian atomic agency spokesman was cited by ISNA as saying Monday that the country will break its uranium stockpile limit set by the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA), also known as the Iran nuclear deal, in 10 days.
The official continued by saying that Iran may export heavy water and that move would not be considered a violation of the nuclear deal.
According to the state TV, the agency spokesperson added that the European countries needed to "act not talk" by stepping in for Iran in order to protect the country from US sanctions.
