Germany has responded with a warning to Iran on the report that Tehran has made up plans to abandon the Nuclear deal they had with six major powers in 2015, following the assassination of General Qasem Soleimani by U.S backed airstrike on Friday in Baghdad.
German Foreign Minister Heiko Maas speaking to Deutschlandfunk radios on Monday on the Nuclear deal, said Iran’s reported move to abandon limitations on enriching uranium will not be a good move, but said:
“We will definitely talk to Iran again. What has been announced is, however, not consistent with the agreement,”
“(The situation) has not got easier, and this could be the first step to the end of this agreement, which would be a big loss so we will weigh this up very, very responsibly now,” he said.
Iranian state television said Iran would not respect any limits set down in the pact on the country’s nuclear work. These include limits on its number of uranium enrichment centrifuges, its enrichment capacity, the level to which uranium can be enriched, the amount of stockpiled enriched uranium and its nuclear research and development activities.
Iran has already steadily overstepped the deal’s limits on its nuclear activities in response to the United States’ withdrawal from the accord in 2018 and Washington’s reimposition of sanctions that have crippled Iran’s oil trade.
Meanwhile, hundreds of thousands of Iranians gathered in Tehran to pay homage to General Qassem Soleiman at his funeral on Monday, while the world waits patiently for what is to come next after the funeral from Iran.
