Interview: Iranian ambassador defends uranium enrichment

Iran is to start injecting uranium gas into more than 1,044 centrifuges as it moves away from a landmark nuclear deal agreed in 2015.

The country’s president, Hassan Rouhani, said it would take place at its underground Fordow centre as “part of our fourth step to reduce our nuclear commitments to the deal.”

Hamid Baeidinejad told Sky’s Mark Austin that Iran was doing its part to preserve the nuclear deal.
