The parliamentary meeting was attended by 232 deputies out of 246, and voted in favor of the decision. The law includes re-designing the old "Arak" heavy water reactor.

And the International Atomic Energy Agency announced that Iran possesses more than 12 times the amount of enriched uranium permitted under the nuclear agreement concluded in 2015 with world powers, from which the administration of outgoing President Donald Trump unilaterally withdrew in 2018, and as a result of which severe sanctions were imposed over Tehran.
