The UN's nuclear watchdog said Friday that Iran's stockpile of enriched uranium has exceeded the limit set in its 2015 nuclear deal with world powers by more than 10 times.
According to French news agency AFP, the limit was set at 300 kilograms (661 pounds) of enriched uranium in a particular compound form, which is the equivalent of 202 kilograms (445 pounds) of uranium.

Iran's stockpile now stands at over 2,105 kilograms (4,640 pounds), the International Atomic Energy Agency said.
Meanwhile, the watchdog also said that Iran had granted its inspectors access to one of two sites where undeclared nuclear activity may have taken place in the early 2000s.
"Iran provided Agency inspectors access to the location to take environmental samples," the IAEA's report stated.
"The samples will be analyzed by laboratories that are part of the Agency's network," it added.
An inspection at the second site will take place "later in September 2020 on a date already agreed with Iran," AFP's report said.

Iran announced last week it would allow the IAEA access to the two sites, following a visit to Tehran by IAEA Director General Rafael Grossi.
Iran had denied the agency access earlier this year, prompting the IAEA's board of governors to pass a resolution in June urging Iran to comply with its requests.
