Iranian Foreign Minister Javad Zarif issued a "reminder" Monday to European powers that Tehran is allowed to enrich uranium under its nuclear deal, after a senior French diplomat claimed otherwise. "There is no prohibition on the enrichment of uranium by Iran," Zarif tweeted.

"Might be useful for European partners to actually read the document they signed on to, and pledged to defend," Zarif added Monday. The European powers have vowed to stand by the historic nuclear deal despite the United States pulling out of the agreement last year and imposing sanctions on Iran. The United Nations' atomic watchdog in February reported Tehran has been abiding by the terms of the accord despite Washington's pullout.
