Iranian President Hassan Rouhani, shown above on Feb. 14 in Sochi, Russia, outlined on Wednesday his country’s decision to stop complying with elements of the Iran nuclear deal. He gave a 60-day deadline for new terms to the nuclear accord, after which Tehran would resume higher uranium enrichment. “We are ready to negotiate, within the boundaries of JCPOA,” he said referring to the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action nuclear deal.

Rouhani sent a letter notifying the signatories to the nuclear deal of Iran’s reduced commitments on Wednesday, according to the official Islamic Republic News Agency.
