President Donald Trump has repeatedly threatened to return the United States to Iran, in the case of the retaliation for Soleimani death, and said it could "maybe in a disproportionate way".
for The year 2015 nuclear agreement with Iran, on the life, because of the trump administration abandoned it in may 2018, may fight now in his final death.
Donald Trump , during his election campaign And Then as President, has never failed to rail against what he calls with his predecessors, President Barack Obama 's "bad Deal ". But also all other countries - signed the UK, France, Russia , China, Germany and the EU are of the opinion that there is still merit in that.
The agreement, known as the JCPOA, limited the Iranian nuclear program for a certain period of time in a largely measurable way. But its greatest importance is all the more so in view of the current Crisis -to prevent that it helped, that an imminent war. Before it was signed, there was growing concern about Tehran's nuclear activities, and any chance that Israel (or Israel and the US attack Iran's nuclear facilities could in tandem).
Since the withdrawal of the United States, Iran, consecutive, has violated key constraints of the JCPOA. Now it seems that these restrictions are ignored. What is important to do exactly what he decides. It is The Level of uranium enrichment is, for example, to 20%? To reduce this would significantly the amount of time it would take Tehran, you can get suitable material for a bomb. It measures for a better international control?
We are now at the end of the trump administration clearly hoped for in may 2018. But the great powers, while they are deeply unhappy about the Iranian violations of The Deal , are also shocked by the controversial decision by Mr. Trump to kill The Head of Iran's Quds Force , a decision which, once again, the United States and Iran to The Brink of war.
What is The Deal Iran's new stance towards nuclear energy? to limit thein the context of the 2015 agreement, Iran agreed to proliferation-sensitive nuclear activities and allow in international inspectors In Return for lifting the crippling economic sanctions.

Iran refused, and had, as its obligations under the agreement have been taken back. It had been expected to announce its current stance on the agreement this weekend, before the news of Soleimani death.
Iranian state media announced on Sunday that the country is in terms of The Deal , the limit values in 2015.
"Iran will continue its nuclear enrichment without any restrictions and based on the technical requirements," a statement said.

The 2015 agreement was designed to prevent the program in a verifiable manner In Return for sanctions relief.
limited to, the Iran enrichment of uranium used in nuclear fuel, But also nuclear weapons, to 3. 67%. Iran was also required to redesign built a heavy-water reactor whose fuel elements contain plutonium suitable for a bomb, and international inspections allow.
Prior to July 2015, had, Iran has a large stockpile of enriched uranium, and nearly 20,000 centrifuges, enough to make eight to 10 bombs, according to the White house at the time.
U.S. expert estimates, to rush, that if Iran had decided to make a bomb, it would Take Two to three months to build until they had enough 90%-enriched uranium, a nuclear bomb is to build the so - called "breakout time".
Iran's current "breakout time", it should try to make a nuclear bomb to build, is estimated at around a year, But this could be reduced to half a year or even after a few months, when the enrichment levels are increased to 20%, for example.
what is the reaction of The International community?The Other parties for the year is to try in 2015 Deal - the UK, France, Germany, China and Russia , to keep this agreement alive, after the United States moved in the year 2018.
