KSA vs Iran

el oh el.... statecraft.... that's rich!
Iran was at 2.5 million BPD last year, down to 1 million BPD now, will be curious to see how it affects the market. No waivers is substantial - will see if that holds.
It’s also an opportunity for Russia to step in and get closer to Iran. They already coexist in Asad’s Syria. A lot of oil flows through the Caspian region, and while Russia is a net exporter of hydrocarbons, Russian actors might be content to be a middleman reseller of Iranian oil if it’s in Russia’s interest financially. Oil is hard to trace once it’s mixed in the same barrel.

TL;DR: IAEA reports Iran is defying the JCPOA signed in 2015. Iran now has a 1,000% higher quantity and 20% higher purity of uranium than allowed.

Maybe not our place to criticize, unless you consider they were already cheating when we left. But Iran still had a deal with the other five signatories, who pledged their support of the deal.
Do you have any documentation for this claim?
These are just a few, but all the reports and official documents I read say they were abiding by the deal.
