LONDON—Iran announced on Wednesday, May 8, it was scaling back curbs to its nuclear program under a 2015 deal with world powers and threatened to do more—including enriching uranium to a higher level—if countries did not shield it from U.S. sanctions.
A year after Washington pulled out of the nuclear deal, President Hassan Rouhani unveiled measures that do not appear to violate its terms yet, but could do so in the future if Iran were to persist on the course he set out.
