The International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) has confirmed that Iran sent 11 tons of heavy water to Oman, bringing it back under the 130-ton soft limit set by the nuclear agreement. The IAEA had reported earlier this month that Iran had violated that limit for a second time. The United States and its allies view the shipment as a step in the right direction, but have highlighted the fact that Oman is not the ultimate destination and that the heavy water must be delivered to a foreign buyer.
