On Thursday, June 18, Esmaeil Baghaei, spokesperson for the Islamic Republic's Foreign Ministry, stressed that "Iran's nuclear material will not leave the country," saying that under the agreement, Iran can dilute its stockpile of highly enriched uranium within the country.
Earlier, Donald Trump had also referred to such an option, although under the supervision of U.S. experts and the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA).
The Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesperson also emphasized that the Persian and English versions of the agreement are identical, adding that "the other side (the United States) has also signed the Persian text."
Baghaei further stressed that compliance with the terms of the agreement is a reciprocal and bilateral matter, and that Iran's commitment to its obligations will depend on the United States' adherence to its own commitments.
The Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesperson said that during the next sixty days, the United States must not expand its military presence in the region or impose new sanctions on Iran.
According to Baghaei, beginning immediately—the first day of the sixty-day period—Iran must be able to sell its oil without obstacles or concerns over sanctions, make use of essential services such as insurance and shipping, and have direct access to the resulting revenues.
Baghaei also stated that the United States must remove all obstacles preventing Iran from accessing its frozen assets.
Commenting on the management of the Strait of Hormuz, the Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesperson said that responsibility for the matter rests with Iran and Oman, and that the two countries will establish an appropriate mechanism for its administration.
