Tehran (IP) - In his Today (Wednesday) speech on the occasion of the anniversary of the uprising of the people of Qom in January 9, 1978, the Leader of the Islamic evolution regarding the JCPOA said: "From the beginning, I said that our work and our commitments should be commensurate with their actions. It was not done from the beginning, but now it must be done.

Iran PressIran News: Ayatollah Sayyed Ali Khamenei noted that a frequently repeated issue is the issue of JCPOA and the commitments of the Islamic Republic, which the Islamic Republic has abandoned some of its obligations.

- The first point is that some are discussing the return of the United States to JCPOA; We have no urgency for the United States to return to JCPOA. This is not our problem at all. Our rational demand is the lifting of sanctions. This is the usurped right of the Iranian people. Both the United States and Europe have a duty to. If the sanctions are lifted, the US return to the JCPOA will make sense. Of course, there is the issue of damages that will be claimed later. But if the sanctions are not lifted, their return to JCPOA may be to our detriment.

- I have told the officials in both the executive and the legislature to proceed and act in these areas with care and full observance of the rules.

- The second point is that the decision of the parliament and the government to cancel the JCPOA-related obligations is a correct, completely logical, rational and acceptable decision. When the other party does not fulfill any of its obligations, it does not make sense for the Islamic Republic to fulfill all its obligations. Therefore, some obligations were canceled a long time ago, and recently, other obligations were also set aside. Of course, if they fulfill their obligations, we will return. From the beginning, I said that our work and our commitments should be commensurate with their actions. It was not done from the beginning, but now it must be done.

- I firmly believe in the youth and have always believed in this. This means that these should be used in some important positions in the country, and secondly, the patience, enthusiasm and initiatives of the youth should be welcomed. 

- So this is both a management issue. However, saying that these should be used in management does not mean that we should abandon the previous generation altogether. As required; Young management in one place and experienced management in another.
