Kerry: ‘Zero tolerance’ for Iran breaches of agreement

Secretary of State John Kerry, delivering a speech in Philadelphia on the Iran deal, said the Islamic republic will be required to live up to the agreement in full before it starts benefiting from sanctions relief.

“Without this agreement, Iran’s so-called breakout time (to produce enough fuel for a nuclear weapon) was about two months. With this agreement it will increase by a factor of six, to at least a year, and will remain at that level for a decade or more,” Kerry said.
