IRAN TAKES FINAL STANCE ON NUCLEAR DEAL ; INSISTS UNITED STATES TO DROP ITS SANCTIONS

  • 08/02/2021

Iran's Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei said that Tehran's "final and irreversible" verdict was to retort to compliance with the 2015 nuclear contract only if Washington elevates sanctions on the Islamic Republic .

The remark, as well as U.S. President Joe Biden's separate declaration that the United States would not exalt permissions just to accept Iran back to the negotiating table, seemed to be posturing by both parties as they consider whether and how to restore the agreement. The deal between Iran and six major powers restricted Iran's uranium enrichment activity to make it tougher for Tehran to strengthen nuclear arms - an ambition Iran has long denied having - in return for the easing of the U.S. and other sanctions. But former U.S. President Donald Trump dropped the deal in 2018, charging it as one-sided in Iran's favor, and reimposed permissions that have disabled Iran's economy.
