VIENNA (Reuters) - Iran has gone further in breaching its nuclear deal with world powers, increasing its stock of enriched uranium and refining it to a greater purity than allowed, the U.N. atomic agency report said on Friday.

The quarterly report from the International Atomic Energy Agency, which is policing the 2015 deal, confirms Iran is progressively backing out of the deal in retaliation for Washington’s withdrawal form the accord and renewal of sanctions that have hit Iranian oil sales.

Iran has said it will breach the deal’s limits on its nuclear activities one by one, ratcheting up pressure on parties who still hope to save it.

U.S. President Donald Trump has offered to hold talks with Iran on a broader deal but Tehran says first it must get relief from U.S. sanctions.

Via 2231, and among a lot of other things, is says Iran cannot develop missiles capable of carrying a nuclear payload.

10. Trump in the WH gives power to the conservative militant religious theocrats in Iran

Thats one indirect consequence. Under Obama, a more (little bit) liberal President was elected. They were talking, and signing deals. Trumps pullout, insults and aggressive tweets just allows Iran's hard liners to say "See?...we told you not to trust those backstabbing Americans". Easier to start a snowball rolling than stop it
