Iranian officials announced that the country had boosted its uranium enrichment production capacity following verbal confrontation with the United States.

As officials from both countries have been exchanging aggressive messages, Iranian local media reported late on Monday that they have been able to take successful steps in ramping up uranium enrichment, breaking the limited line of 2015 nuclear deal.

US president Donald Trump pulled out of the 2015 Iran Nuclear deal in May, called the deal “worst ever” agreement, which was signed during Barak Obama’s administration. Tensions especially raised between Tehran and Washington since then.

The United States has deployed reinforcement and ammunition in several military bases in neighboring Iran on Monday, while both countries have insisted on their lack of interest in waging war.
