Tehran, SAEDNEWS, Feb. 19: “Reminder: Because of US withdrawal from JCPOA, there is NO P5+1. It is now ONLY Iran and P4+1,” Khatibzadeh wrote in a post to his Twitter account on Friday. “Remember, Trump left the room and tried to blow it up,” he added.
“Gestures are fine. But to revive P5+1, US must Act: LIFT sanctions. We WILL respond,” the spokesman continued.
“Here is the key sequence: #CommitActMeet,” he further noted.
In relevant remarks on Thursday, Iranian Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif said that the US withdrawal from the snapback mechanism is an acknowledgment of invalidity of former State Secretary Mike Pompeo’s claims, stressing that Washington must remove all sanctions imposed, re-imposed or re-labeled by former President Donald Trump.
"US acknowledged Pompeo's claims re Res. 2231 had no legal validity. We agree," Zarif tweeted on Friday in reaction to the Biden administration’s retreat from activating UN sanctions against Iran.
"In compliance w/ 2231: US unconditionally & effectively lift all sanctions imposed, re-imposed or re-labeled by Trump," he added.
Zarif stressed that if all sanctions are lifted, then Iran will reverse its reciprocal moves in compliance with the nuclear deal (Source: FarsNews).
