President Joe Biden criticized Iran’s decision to further enrich uranium but signaled that the move won’t prevent indirect talks in Vienna aimed at restoring the 2015 nuclear accord from proceeding.
“We do not support and do not think it’s at all helpful that Iran is saying it is going to move to enrich at 60% -- it is contrary to the agreement,” Biden said Friday at a news conference alongside Japanese Prime Minister Yoshihide Suga.
