Iran: US Not Implementing N. Deal

"It is a fact that the United States is not implementing the JCOPA (the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action), it is a fact that it violates it almost daily," he told the BBC on Thursday.

According to him, Trump's statements regarding the deal being "bad" or seeking to change it are a violation of the agreement.

"This violates the letter, not the spirit of the agreement," he added.

Speaking further, the senior Iranian official said that Iran would withdraw from the agreement if there would be no economic benefits for the country and major banks wouldn't work with Iran.

"The deal would not survive this way even if the ultimatum is passed and waivers are extended," Araqchi said.

The statement comes almost two weeks after US President Donald Trump delivered an ultimatum to the heads of European countries, saying that he wouldn't extend the US sanctions relief on Iran if the sides refused to "fix the terrible flaws of the Iran nuclear deal".


"The agreement is the result of years of efforts and months of negotiations between Iran and Europe and all sides should be committed to their nuclear deal undertakings and act upon them," President Rouhani said in a meeting with Spanish Minister of Foreign Affairs and Cooperation Alfonso Dastis in Tehran.

He underlined that there is no need for renegotiating the deal, and said, "The Islamic Republic of Iran will remain committed to the nuclear deal as long as the other side acts upon its undertakings."
