Iran Announces Partial Withdrawal From 2015 Nuclear Deal

CBS News

Iran has delivered letters to ambassadors outlining its partial withdrawal from the 2015 nuclear deal with world powers, state television reported, without elaborating on what steps it plans to take, Al Jazeera reports. 

The letters have been delivered to the leaders of Britain, China, the European Union, France and Germany.

All were signatories to the nuclear deal, under which Iran limited its enrichment of uranium in exchange for the lifting of economic sanctions. A letter was also sent to Russia.

Also on Wednesday, Iran's President Hassan Rouhani noted Tehran will keep excess enriched uranium, instead of selling it as called for by the nuclear deal.

Iranian officials had warned that the country might increase its uranium enrichment, potentially pulling away from the deal after spending a year trying to salvage it with European partners.
