Iran threatens to end nuclear deal
- 9 years ago
Iranian President Hassan Rouhani threatened on Thursday to abandon the nuclear deal, if the US imposes any new sanctions unrelated to Tehran's nuclear program.
"The obligations are the following: the group of six will not impose new sanctions, and we should fulfill the agreements.
In case the Unites States or other countries fail to comply with their obligations, we will be forced to do the same," Rouhani told the Italian Corriere della Sera paper according to the semi-official Fars News Agency.
Rouhani went on to say Iran is in dispute with the US, given Tehran's demands that all sanctions against it be lifted as part of the nuclear deal.
The ultimatum comes just days after it was revealed Tuesday that Iran has stopped dismantling its centrifuges at the Natanz and Fordow uranium enrichment plants, breaching the nuclear deal that calls for the dismantling.
