Iran’s Surplus Heavy Water Sent to Oman: AEOI. (IFP).
“In view of the progress of talks with
several foreign firms and countries to purchase heavy water, some
quantities of Iran’s surplus production has been transferred to Oman,”
said AEOI spokesman Behrouz Kamalvandi on Sunday.
He added that further amounts of surplus heavy water will be sent to Oman in the future.
Earlier in the month, the International
Atomic Energy Agency claimed in its quarterly report that Iran’s stocks
of heavy water had slightly exceeded the 130-ton level set out in last
year’s nuclear deal, known as the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action
(JCPOA).
Iran and the five permanent members of
the United Nations Security Council – the United States, France,
Britain, Russia and China – plus Germany signed the JCPOA in July 2015
and started implementing it in January 2016. Under the JCPOA, Iran
undertook to put limitations on its nuclear program in exchange for the
removal of nuclear-related sanctions imposed against Tehran.
On Friday, Kamalvandi stressed that Iran
has remained committed to its JCPOA obligations, including those
concerning its heavy water stockpiles.
Oman and Iran share close diplomatic, economic, and military ties.
