DUBAI/WASHINGTON—Iran on Wednesday, Sept. 4, said it would take another step away from a 2015 nuclear deal by starting to develop centrifuges to speed up its uranium enrichment, but it also gave European powers two more months to try to save the multilateral pact.
Separately, the United States refused to ease its reinstated economic sanctions on Iran, imposed fresh ones designed to choke off the smuggling of Iranian oil and rebuffed, but did not rule out, a French plan to give Tehran a $15 billion credit line.
