The announcement follows violations of an agreement that Iran has been implementing since the United States withdrew from it and re-imposed sanctions against the country in 2019.

The move is one of many appearing in a new law enacted in Iran last month, following the assassination of nuclear scientist Muhsin Fahrizadeh, who is considered in the West to be the father of its military nuclear program.

Tensions between the United States and Iran have recently increased, towards the end of President Donald Trump's term.

Last month's assassination of Fahrizadeh, who is considered the father of Tehran's military nuclear program, was seen as an attempt by the United States and Israel to prevent the Biden administration from returning to the nuclear deal.

Iran accuses Israel of assassinating Fahrizadeh, and promises revenge.
