Iran nuclear deal: Tehran may increase uranium enrichment
Iran has pulled out of key commitments under the 2015 international nuclear deal, a year after it was abandoned by the US.
President Hassan Rouhani said Tehran would keep enriched uranium stocks in the country and not ship them abroad.
He also threatened to resume production of higher enriched uranium in 60 days.
The accord is aimed at curbing Iran's nuclear ambitions in return for sanctions relief, but Iran-US tensions have risen since Washington quit.
Iran's economy has since been hit by renewed US sanctions.
