Tehran (ISNA) - Iran's government spokesman, Ali Rabiei stressed that Iran is ready to exchange prisoners with the United States and if it has not happened yet was due to the US unpreparedness.
Speaking at a press conference on Tuesday, Rabiei said, "Iran is waiting to see how much the new US administration is serious to revise policies of the previous team".
He also advised the White House to return to the 2015 nuclear deal known as the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA) unconditionally and not to make the way more difficult for diplomacy.
"The JCPOA was the main topic in constructive contacts that Iranian president has recently had with some of his counterpart," Rabiei noted.
"Without a doubt, the JCPOA was a turning point in the history of Iran's peace-seeking and prudence, where the county managed to put an end to arbitrary sanctions while it preserved all the peaceful nuclear achievements, pride, dignity and territorial integrity," he said.
"Iran has now the upper hand both morally and legally after the US withdrawal from the deal and can defend the rights of the Iranian nation with reliance on the UNSC Resolution 2231 which removed all the international sanctions against Iran," the spokesman went on to say.
Rabiei emphasized that he was sure that the JCPOA will be revived in the near future as it is the only way which ensures peace in the world and benefits the interests of all the countries.
