Monday, June 17, tension between the us and Iran is high following reports that Tehran will cease to abide by restrictions implemented in the 2015 international agreement limiting its ability to produce nuclear weapons.

Iran will increase uranium enrichment activities and could exceed limits imposed by the 2015 deal in as little as 10 days,

Other countries fear that Iran’s ability to construct enriched uranium brings it a step closer to developing weapons-grade nuclear material.

Iran’s latest threat comes at a time of heightened conflict with the U.S. days after two oil tankers were disabled by what the U.S. has said forcefully was an attack orchestrated by Tehran.
