President: Iran not to initiate violation of nuclear deal
IRNA - Islamic Republic News Agency
Tehran, Feb 6, IRNA -- President Hassan Rouhani said on Tuesday that Iran will not initiate violating the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA) reached between Iran and G5+1 in Vienna in July 2015.
'Iran will not be the first to quit the JCPOA,' the President noted in a press conference.
He rejected the calls for re-negotiating the nuclear deal, adding, 'Iran will not accept any change to the JCPOA text.'
President Rouhani referred to the US President's efforts to decertify the JCPOA over past one year and described it as evidence that shows the nuclear deal is strong enough to stand against pressures.
He described the nuclear deal as a multilateral agreement, noting that breaching the deal will discredit the US.
Iran will stay in the nuclear deal until benefiting from it, the President said.
