Foreign minister calls on US to ‘show its good faith’ but appears to rule out renegotiating deal
Iran will come back into full compliance with its nuclear deal immediately after an incoming Joe Biden administration proves its bona fides by lifting all sanctions, the country’s foreign minister has said.
Setting out the parameters for a new relationship with the US, Javad Zarif also said Iran would not require the US to rejoin the deal, known as the joint comprehensive plan of action (JCPoA), before lifting its sanctions, but would need some kind of assurance that once it has rejoined a Biden administration would not simply leave the deal again in the same way Donald Trump did.
