Iran Moves Further From Nuclear Deal, Activating Advanced Centrifuges

The transcript discusses Iran's nuclear deal, initially agreed upon in 2015 with major world powers, which included lifting sanctions in exchange for limiting nuclear activities. The US withdrew from the deal under the Trump administration, re-imposing sanctions that severely impacted Iran's economy. In response, Iran began to roll back its commitments, enriching uranium beyond agreed levels but not enough for weapon production.

Iran has given Europe 60 days to find a solution to salvage the deal or face further violations.
