Iran will take the third step to reduce nuclear obligations in the current conditions, and only the Islamic Republic has the right to decide to fulfill the obligations on the nuclear deal or to refuse them, said Iranian Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif.

“Each phase of the reduction of commitments is defined for a two-month period," he said adding that the 20 percent enrichment is one of the options for the third phase.

"We waited for two months and then started the second phase yesterday. Of course, the move was after a year-long patience so that the other party should have done its commitments; but they made no appropriate moves, so according to the order of the president and the Supreme National Security Council, we surpassed the 3.67 percent limit,” IRNA reported quoting him.
