Iran nuclear: Curbs on uranium enrichment begin

Iran has begun curbing uranium enrichment under a deal which will also see international sanctions eased, the UN nuclear watchdog (IAEA) says.

Earlier, centrifuges used for enrichment were disconnected at the Natanz plant, Iranian TV reported.
The move is part of a nuclear deal reached with the US, Russia, China and European powers last November.
The European Union has now responded by lifting some of its sanctions against Iran.
The EU's decision, taken by the bloc's foreign ministers meeting in Brussels, is expected to come into effect by the end of Monday.
It clears the way for Iran to resume petrochemical and other exports, worth billions to its economy.
Sanctions have been in force against Iran since 2006
