Iran’s latest countermeasures expose the tension caused by the constant ＂extreme pressure＂ of the United States.

　　　　　　 CCTV News:Last year, the United States unilaterally withdrew from the comprehensive agreement on Iran’s nuclear issue, restarted sanctions against Iran, and recently increased its "extreme pressure" on Iran — — Faced with the aggressiveness of the United States, Iran has recently taken many measures to "defend against" the pressure from the United States.

　　　　　　 After the United States officially announced its withdrawal from the Iranian nuclear deal last year, it resumed economic sanctions against Iran. Among them, the sanctions against Iranian oil exports directly hit the lifeline of Iran’s economy. At the same time, the United States has continuously increased its pressure on Iran in other aspects, including classifying Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard as a terrorist organization and sending more troops to the Middle East. In addition, after the recent oil tanker attacks in the Gulf region, the regional situation has become more complicated.

　　　　　　 On May 8 this year, on the first anniversary of the unilateral withdrawal of the United States from the Iranian nuclear deal, Iranian President Rouhani announced that he would suspend the implementation of some provisions of the Iranian nuclear deal and would not sell heavy water and enriched uranium to foreign countries. Iran hopes to negotiate Iran’s rights and interests in the agreement with other signatories in the Iranian nuclear deal within 60 days. If the demands are not met, Iran will no longer limit the product abundance of its uranium enrichment activities.

　　　　　　 On the 17th of this month, the Iranian Atomic Energy Organization issued a statement, announcing that Iran will break through the upper limit of 300 kilograms of low-enriched uranium by June 27th. According to the Iranian Atomic Energy Organization, Iran has increased its enriched uranium production capacity, but its products remain low in abundance. Analysts believe that the Iranian breakthrough in the Iranian nuclear deal is a new step, which is the latest counter-measure to constantly "exert extreme pressure" on the United States. Iran made this move at a time when the US-Iran relationship continues to be tense and the regional situation is complicated and changeable, probably to increase the bargaining chip with the United States.
