In this episode of The President's Daily Brief: We begin with a critical update from the International Atomic Energy Agency, reporting Iran's continued enrichment of uranium close to weapons-grade levels, challenging UN mandates and escalating global tensions.

With the Iran nuclear deal in further jeopardy, we take a look at how the country's nuclear program began with NPR's Geoff Brumfiel. (The United States has a surprising role.)
