Iran's president announces another break from nuclear deal
Iran's president announced on Tuesday that Tehran will begin injecting uranium gas into 1,044 centrifuges, the latest step away from its 2015 nuclear deal with world powers since President Trump withdrew from the accord over a year ago. The development is significant as the centrifuges previously spun empty, without gas injection, under the landmark 2015 nuclear accord. It also increases pressure on European nations that remain in the accord, which at this point has all but collapsed.

On Monday, during an event commemorating the 40th anniversary of revolutionaries seizing the U.S. Embassy in Tehran, Iran announced it was now operating 60 advanced centrifuges, twice as many as allowed by the accord, and is experimenting with a prototype designed to be 50 times faster than what's allowed by the nuke deal. - Reported by the Associated Press
