Iranian President Hasan Rouhani reminded the US administration that lifting the sanctions will result in Tehran’s immediate return to the JCPOA commitments.
In a meeting with Qatar’s Foreign Minister Sheikh Mohammed bin Abdulrahman Al-Thani, held in Tehran on Monday, Rouhani highlighted the failure of the US’ policy of maximum pressure on Iran.
“The new US administration has no option but to make up for the previous administration’s mistakes and honor the legal commitments,” he said, as quoted by Tasnim news agency.
Rouhani reiterated the need for the US government to comply with the UN Security Council Resolution 2231 and lift the sanctions on Iran, noting, “Whenever the US terminates the illegal sanctions and returns to law, Iran will immediately return to all of its commitments under the JCPOA.”
The Iranian president also pointed to the friendly ties between Tehran and Doha, and said, “Relations between the two countries have been very good and developing in recent years, and with the new international conditions, opportunities should be tapped to develop and deepen relations and cooperation.”
For his part, the Qatari Foreign Minister described Iran as a friendly country in the region and stressed the need to develop and deepen bilateral relations in all fields, especially the commercial and economic cooperation.
In another meeting earlier on Monday, the visiting Qatari minister held talks with his Iranian counterpart Mohammad Javad Zarif.
