Iran will expel United Nations nuclear watchdog inspectors unless sanctions are lifted by a 21 February deadline. This latest move comes after Parliament passed a law in November that obliges the government to halt inspections of its nuclear sites under Tehran's 2015 nuclear deal if sanctions are not eased. On Monday the country resumed 20% uranium enrichment at an underground nuclear facility, breaching the nuclear pact with major powers and possibly complicating efforts by U.S. President-elect Joe Biden to rejoin the deal.
Iran began violating the accord in 2019 in response to U.S. President Donald Trump's withdrawal from it in 2018 and the reimposition of U.S. sanctions lifted under the deal.
Meanwhile, Germany, France, and Britain warn this latest move will lead to serious nuclear non-proliferation implications.
