Iran Press/ Iran news: On the sidelines of a funeral ceremony in Tehran on Wednesday, Ali Akbar Salehi said that the fourth phase of cuts to nuclear commitments will be announced by President Hassan Rouhani later.
It is noteworthy that Iran’s fourth 60-day ultimatum to remaining parties to the nuclear deal to live up to their own commitments to the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA) will end on November 5, while they have not taken any practical steps to meet Iran’s demands.
Iran demands European countries make up for losses after the US withdrawal from the accord and help Iran with its oil sales and banking relations.

Salehi: US withdrawal from JCPOA is not a big deal
Tehran says its countermeasures fit within its rights under paragraphs 26 and 36 of the nuclear deal, and that it will reverse the measures once its demands are met.
As a first step, Iran increased its enriched uranium stockpile to a level above the 300 kilograms set by the JCPOA.
In the second step, Tehran began enriching uranium to purity rates beyond the JCPOA-limit of 3.76 percent.
Also, the Iranian foreign ministry spokesman said the scaling back of Iran's commitment to the nuclear deal is a direct result of other signatories to the deal failing to honor their commitments, and Iran's actions are in-line with the JCPOA with Tehran having the legal right to reduce its commitments.
Furthermore, Tehran lifted all restrictions on nuclear research and development and announced it would use advanced centrifuges as its third step.
Each time Iran gives a 60-day deadline to the other parties before taking its next step.
