“We believe that we are interested in negotiations that will ensure the rights and interests of Iranian people," Iranian foreign minister stressed.
If there is real intention on the part of the other parties and all of them return to their JCPOA obligations, Tehran will return to its obligations in return, he continued.
In nuclear deal, Iran is the only country that has adhered to its obligations until the last moment, and “we will revive this method in case of reciprocal behavior of other parties involved in Iran nuclear talks.”
