Satisfied also with the series of recent talks that have been going on with the europeans to try to find some sort of way forward to allow the iranians to have some remedy for their economic woes. now, the move that they ve made now, paula, is indeed a significant one. what they ve done in the past couple of weeks is they say they ve exceeded the low enricher uranium they re allowed to stockpile. basically made the same quality, but just made more of it than they were supposed to have under the nuclear agreement. they say that s something that they are allowed to do under the nuclear agreement as part of a remedy mechanism that is in that nuclear agreement if they feel that other countries are not living up to the deal. but what they re doing now is changing the quality of the low enricher uranium that they re making. before that, their level that they were their ceiling level, if you will, of the quality of uranium was 3.67%. now the iranians are saying they re going to exceed that. ....
And then we kill 150 people. i didn t like that. reporter: then earlier this month, british royal marines in gibraltar storm an iranian supertanker believed to be carrying oil to syria, a possible violation of european union sanctions on syria. a senior iranian foreign minister official says the ship was seized, at the behest of the u.s., but gibraltar denies that, saying it acted on its own. more than a year since the u.s. withdrawal from the nuclear deal, a cash strapped iran levies pressure of it s own. saying iran is exceeding the pact s limit on stockpiles of enricher uranium. iran won t stop, officials say, until protected from american sanctions, unlikely to ease any time soon. michael holmes, cnn, atlanta. okay. next here on is in ecnn, you llo see this. ....
The talk is around 5% enrichment, which is of course a higher enricher uranium. one thing we have to put into perspective, it takes uranium enriched to about 90% to make a nuclear weapon. the iranians still very much far away from that. they continue to say obviously they don t want nuclear weapons. they say they want this for their civilian nuclear program but they are going to make low enricher uranium as they see fit, paula. clearly a tactic and that this is the hand they feel they have to play, and yet i have to ask you strategically, are they likely to get to the goal that they want? i mean, look, you and i have discussed it before, right, fred? europe, britain, germany, france, they know that they need to do something for iran in order for them to continue to adhere to this 2015 deal. what could probably change with these next rules from iran? well, i think it s going to be very difficult. what the europeans have been saying is they ve been urging the iranians to abide by the ....
yeah. well, i think it is quite significant, paula, because one of the things that the iranians had announced before is that they were going to breach the limits of the low enricher uranium that they stockpiled. they say they ve already done that, the 300 kilograms they re all to stockpile. what they re essentially doing is changing the quality of the low enricher uranium that they are producing. they re saying from 3.67% of enrichment in that uranium, they re now going to breach that level and go higher. now, they re not exactly sure at this point to what extent they re going to do that. there s a lot of talk about that being 5% enrichment that they re going to conduct, so certainly that is a significant step in that they are changing the kind of quality of the uranium that they re putting out. now, of course, this is well below the levels it would take to build a nuclear bomb. this is still something that is by far only valuable for civilian nuclear production. so the iranians are ....
Unresponsive at a hotel and was pronounced dead on the scene. police don t suspect foul play was a factor. hong kong chief executive carrie lam is strongly condemning the protests at the city s legislative building. this after hundreds of demonstrators smashed their way inside and vandalized the main chamber. the protests have been sparked by a controversial extradition bill that lam now says she will let expire. well, iran insists it has not violated the 2015 nuclear agreement even though its stockpiles of enricher low-grade uranium now exceed the limits set by the deal. iran s foreign minister argues his nation has a right to go over the 300 kilogram limit since washington withdrew from the pact last year. he also warns that iran could ....
