Three European powers on Saturday warned Iran against starting work on uranium metal-based fuel for a research reactor, breaching the 2015 nuclear deal, Reuters reported.

“The U.N. nuclear watchdog, the IAEA, and Tehran said on Wednesday that Iran had started the work, the latest breach of its agreement with six major powers as it presses for a lifting of U.S. sanctions,” the report said.

Iran has been constantly violating the terms of the 2015 nuclear deal in the past few months.  

“We strongly encourage Iran to end this activity, and return to full compliance with its commitments under the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action without delay, if it is serious about preserving this agreement,” France, Britain and Germany said in a joint statement.

The three powers, who remain in the deal with China and Russia, said they were “deeply concerned”.

According to these European countries, Iran’s production of uranium metal had no civilian credibility but potentially serious military implications
