A top Iranian official said his country will, “step by step,” scale back its commitments under 2015 nuclear deal known as the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action.
Keyvan Khosravi, the spokesperson for the Supreme National Security Council, said the move has already started according to the plan, which was announced last month.
According to the senior official, “consecutive and phase=by-phase steps will continue to scale down obligations in accordance with the SNCS’s statement until the status of Iran’s oil sales and banking transactions return to the situation before Washington’s withdrawal from the nuclear deal.”
Tehran has given 60 days to the other members of the deal to fulfill their promises, after which Iran will break its limit for enrichment of its uranium.
US president Donald Trump pulled out of the 2015 Iran Nuclear deal in May and tensions especially raised between Tehran and Washington since then.
