Iranian President Hassan Rouhani says returning to the nuclear deal commitments does not need negotiations but determination.







Speaking at a cabinet session on Wednesday, Rouhani pointed to the need for the JCPOA signatories to meet their obligations under the deal.

“Our returning to the commitments does not take time, it is just a matter of determination. How come did an illiterate trader sign a paper and said he has withdrawn from the JCPOA? Now the next person should bring a good paper and sign it. We just need a signature for returning to where we started,” he said, adding, “This does not take time and need any negotiation, lets both return [to the deal] – when I say both I also mean 4+1 not just America. If America comes, it will become 5+1.”

Tehran has reduced its commitments to the deal in response to other parties’ failure to fulfill their commitments, noting that all its steps in this path are reversible.

“We have always announced that our measures are reversible. There may come on stream 10,000 centrifuges and we can easily turn off all these centrifuges in one hour if we wish; so, this is reversible,” said the President.

“Whenever 5+1 or 4+1 fulfill their commitments, we will also do the same,” he stressed.
