Iranian President’s Chief of Staff Mahmoud Vaezi underlined that Iran is not optimistic about any of the US administrations and will hold no new round of talks about the nuclear deal JCPOA.
Making the remarks on the sidelines of the Wednesday Cabinet meeting, Mahmoud Vaezi assured that there will be no new negotiations over the nuclear deal, according to Mehr news agency.
“President Rouhani announced today that if the other JCPOA parties return to January 20, 2017, the day Trump came to power, Iran is also ready to step back to the same date,” he said, referring to the official name of the deal (Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action).
Meanwhile, he slammed European countries’ lack of commitment to their JCPOA obligations.
Vaezi noted that Trump has disturbed the international order and ruined international relations, including those in the Middle East.
“He has put intense pressure on the Iranian people over the past three years,” he added.
Commenting on the US elections, he said Iran welcomed Trump’s defeat but it is not optimistic about any of the US administrations unless that administration acts differently.
He underlined that despite the remarks of the upcoming US administration officials about their policy towards Iran, which as they say would be totally different from that of Trump, and their claims about getting connected to Iran, there has been no direct or indirect contact between Iran and the US.
