Tehran will no longer abide by any of the limits of its unraveling 2015 nuclear deal with world powers aftermath the US killing of its major general Qassem Soleimani, the commander of Quds Force, on Friday.

In a statement, the Iranian government said that Iran had taken the fifth and last step in reducing commitments to the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA).

It removed the last operational restriction on its nuclear program, including like percentage of enrichment, enrichment capacity, amount of enriched material, and research and development.

This means that Tehran is no longer abiding by any international agreement to adhere to non-proliferation.

Iran's nuclear program will be developed solely based on its technical needs.

Iran also conditioned that it is ready to return to its commitments in case of lifting the sanctions.

It is worth mentioning that on May 8, 2018, US President Donald Trump pulled the United States out of JCPOA and reimposed tough sanctions on the country.

In the same context, Iran today offered a $80-million bounty for Trump's head because he ordered to kill Soleimani.

According to the Express newspaper, one of Soleimani's funeral organizers said: "On behalf of all of Iran's people - 80 million Iranians - and each puts aside US$1, it would equal $80 million. And we would give this $80 million, on our own behalf, as a gift to anyone who brings the head of the person who ordered the murder of the grand figure of our revolution [Trump].
