The Washington Post: Iran set to breach limit on enriched uranium within 'hours'.
The Guardian: Iran nuclear deal in jeopardy after latest enrichment breach.
The corporate mainstream media has again turned pure fantasy into fact. It was the US that is in violation of the agreement, and not Iran. As George Orwell said, a lie told often enough goes unquestioned.
The US State Department had already telegraphed the mainstream media its headlines and talking points with the following July 1st news release:
"No nuclear deal should ever allow the Iranian regime to enrich uranium at any level. Starting in 2006, the United Nations Security Council passed six resolutions requiring the regime to suspend all enrichment and reprocessing activity. It was the right standard then; it is the right standard now. The Trump Administration calls on the international community to restore the longstanding nonproliferation standard of no enrichment for Iran's nuclear program. Iran has the uncontested ability to pursue peaceful nuclear energy without domestic enrichment."
"The Iranian regime, armed with nuclear weapons, would pose an even greater danger to the region and to the world. The United States is committed to negotiating a new and comprehensive deal with the Iranian regime to resolve its threats to international peace and security. As long as Iran continues to reject diplomacy and expand its nuclear program, the economic pressure and diplomatic isolation will intensify."
The press release is untrue. Iran is not violating international law, has not threatened world peace, is not a terrorist state, and has not invaded another country in over 200 years. The corporate mainstream media is shameless in spreading such propaganda. Occasionally, the truth slips out from open sources:
For the past twenty years or so, the annual reports of the National Counterterrorism Center have attributed the vast majority of the Islamic terrorist attacks around the world since 2001 to "Sunni extremists"jihadists inspired by the anti-imperialist Wahhabism theology of Saudi Arabia".. The fanatics behind the attacks of 9/11, Madrid, London, Paris, and San Bernardino were all Sunni extremists. None of the terrorists involved in those bloody attacks was Iranian.
The corporate mainstream media has always been a propaganda organ for war. It has gotten much worse though in recent decades. By constant repetition of propaganda they do the bidding of the power elite. The power elite directs foreign policy and profits from war.
The media is part of the power elite and it lulls the public into one war after another. Now the US public is being frog walked into a very dangerous war with Iran. War is unpredictable, and it could lead to a world war and a nuclear holocaust.

The JCPOA was not about Iran producing a nuclear bomb. That has been a red herring for two decades. In the combined National Intelligence Estimate in 2007 it clearly stated that all US intelligence agencies agreed that Iran had not had a nuclear weapons program since 2003. In 2009 and thereafter the IAEA has confirmed that Iran does not have a nuclear weapons program.
