Warning of more reduction of Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA) commitments, Iran’s Minister of Foreign Affairs Mohammad Javad Zarif talked of developing nuclear program and reducing cooperation with IAEA inspectors if US and E3 do not comply with their JCPOA commitments, Mehr reported.

Zarif said that the Iranian nation had had a long way more than 100 years before the revolution to achieve the right to self-determination, saying that developing indigenous scientific-technical industry is the key achievements the Iranians have made since the revolution despite being under heavy sanctions.

In an apparent reference to the Iranian Parliament’s deadline for Washington to lift the sanctions, the foreign minister further warned the new US administration that the “window of opportunity” was “closing fast” to make up for the past mistakes the previous Trump administration had made in dealing with the Iranian nation.

He said that Tehran would have to take further steps to reduce its JCPOA commitments in the case of continuing non-compliance with the nuclear accord by the US and the European signatories on February 20.

Zarif said the Parliament’s legislation is in accordance with the nuclear deal and Tehran will reduce the cooperation with IAEA inspectors and further develop its nuclear program on February.

At the end of his message on the occasion of the 42nd anniversary of the Iranian Islamic Revolution, Zarif said that Iran, as it has repeatedly said in the past, is ready to cooperate with its neighbors in line with the common goals shared with the neighbors.

He said that on the occasion of the revolution anniversary, Tehran once again calls for ending hostility towards the Iranian nation.
