51% : The head of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) Rafael Grossi held talks for a second day in Iran on Saturday aimed at pushing the country to cooperate with a probe into uranium traces found at undeclared sites.
51% : Grossi, who arrived in Tehran on a two-day visit on Friday, met for the second time with the head of Iran's Atomic Energy Organization, Mohammad Eslami, the official Iranian news agency IRNA reported.
50% : "The parties did not fulfil their commitments" in the 2015 nuclear deal, and so Iran decided to "reduce its commitments".
46% : Iran's stonewalling of the IAEA's years-long investigation into uranium traces found at three undeclared sites prompted the United Nations watchdog's 35-nation Board of Governors to pass a resolution at its last quarterly meeting in November ordering Tehran to cooperate urgently with the probe.
38% : Under an agreement signed with six major world powers, Iran had curbed its nuclear programme in return for relief from U.S., European Union and United Nations sanctions.

20% : But former U.S. President Donald Trump reneged on the deal and restored harsh U.S. sanctions in 2018, prompting Iran to start violating the deal's nuclear limits about a year later.
