Iranian President Hassan Rouhani explained what he meant when he said the 2015 nuclear deal was a 'minimum' and 'if you require more, you should also give and pay more.'
Iranian President Hassan Rouhani has laid out the possibility of striking a new deal with the United States, but said President Donald Trump would have to first respect the last one.
Asked what he meant when he called the deal a"minimum" during his U.N. remarks, Rouhani said Iran believes"that the JCPOA is not a maximum form of agreement, it is what was possible in its time, what was obtainable in its time and what was agreed upon by all parties and it must be implemented." Iranian President Hassan Rouhani meets with United Nations Secretary-General Antonio Guterres at the United Nations in New York on September 25. Rouhani elaborated on his country's stance on United States foreign policy at a September 26 press conference.Rouhani's statements come in response to a U.S.-led campaign to isolate Iran via a"maximum pressure" strategy designed to undermine the Islamic republic's economic and diplomatic ties abroad.
The U.S. and its allies have also vocally held Iran responsible for a recent attack on Saudi oil facilities, though it was claimed by Yemen's Zaidi Shiite Muslim Ansar Allah movement, also called the Houthis. The Yemeni group, accused of being backed directly by Iran, has been battling a Saudi-led coalition in a four-year civil war that has precipitated what the U.N. has called"the world's worst humanitarian crisis.
