Iran will ship around 11 metric tons of heavy water out of the country in the next couple of days, according to people familiar with the plans, defusing a conflict with the U.S. and others over the Iranian nuclear deal, The Wall Street Journal reports.
Heavy water is exported to Oman for sale on the international market. Now it is in one of the ports of Iran, the newspaper notes, TASS reports.
Recall, that two days earlier, the director general of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA), Yukiya Amano, on the agency's Board of Governors meeting called on Iran not to exceed the limits for heavy water, in order not to undermine confidence in the performance of their obligations under the Joint Comprehensive Action Plan (SVPD).
