The United States and the UN nuclear watchdog believe Iran had a nuclear weapons program that it abandoned. Below are some of the key restrictions imposed by the nuclear deal, the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action. URANIUM ENRICHMENT LEVELThe biggest obstacle to producing nuclear weapons is obtaining enough fissile material – weapons-grade highly enriched uranium or plutonium – for the bomb’s core. It is also well below the 20% level to which Iran enriched uranium before the deal. Any excess enriched uranium was either downblended to the level of natural uranium or shipped out of the country in exchange for natural uranium.
