Iran Press/ Iran news- Honoring the 2015 nuclear deal is not Iran's only option, Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif said on Thursday in a Twitter post.
"If preserving JCPOA is the goal, then there is no escape from mustering the courage to comply with commitment to normalize Iran's economic relations instead of making extraneous demands. Being the party to still honor the deal in deeds & not just words is not Iran's only option", Zarif twitted.
The IAEA 12th periodical report on Thursday once again confirmed Iran's compliance to its nuclear deal with world powers known as the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA).
The new IAEA report, which is the second one after the US withdrawal from the accord, once again verified that Iran's nuclear activities are fully in compliance with the provisions of the JCPOA.
The IAEA in its report has reaffirmed that its inspectors have had access to all Iran's nuclear sites with ease.
“The production rate (of enriched uranium) is constant. There is no change whatsoever,” report added.
