Spokesman for Iran’s Foreign Ministry on Monday said Iran has preconditions for the United State if it wants to revive the 2015 nuclear deal.

Saeed Khatibzadeh said that the US must lift sanctions imposed on Iran as part of the talks on a return to the 2015 nuclear deal and also reassure the Islamic Republic that it will not abandon the deal once again.

In his weekly briefing, Khatibzadeh stressed that Washington “must guarantee that no administration in the United States mocks the world and international law and does not repeat these behaviors” of withdrawing from agreements.

As well, he stressed, “they must lift the oppressive sanctions completely and effectively.”

“Iran will not stop its compensatory actions until it is confident that US sanctions will be lifted in an effective and verifiable manner with the necessary and objective guarantees,” the spokesman added.

Former US President Donald Trump abandoned the pact in 2018 and reimposed harsh US sanctions. Iran has also started violating most of the deal’s limits on uranium enrichment.
