The President of Iran said that Tehran “has always kept to its commitments”.
The US government under the new president must acknowledge past mistakes and return to the previous agreements. Iranian President Hassan Rowhani said this on Sunday.
“The future administration of the US President has the opportunity to correct previous mistakes and return to international norms and agreements”,- his press service quotes the policy.
Rowhani added that “Iran has always adhered to the commitments it has made, if they have been responsibly implemented by other parties to the agreement”.
“Our strategy is to work constructively with the world”, – he said.
The President stated that “the people of Iran have won the economic war imposed on them by America”. “The people of Iran, through their heroic resistance against the economic war imposed on them, have shown that the policy of maximum pressure from the United States is doomed to failure,” he said.
At the same time, Iranian Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif said that “the world is watching as to whether the new [US] leaders will renounce unlawful bullying and accept a multilateral approach with cooperation and respect for the law”.
“The American people have already expressed their opinion”, – he added.
The future of the Joint Comprehensive Action Plan on Iran’s nuclear programme has been called into question since the U.S. unilateral withdrawal on 8 May 2018 and Washington’s imposition of sanctions against Tehran on oil exports. According to the Islamic Republic, the rest of the participants, especially Europeans, do not fully adhere to their obligations in the economic part of the agreement, so the nuclear deal as it stands makes no sense. As a result, Iran has begun to suspend its obligations under the agreement relating to uranium enrichment and research activities in stages, and in early January announced the completion of this process.
