Tehran (IP) - Iranian President described his American counterpart's decision to stop abiding by the landmark Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action, also known as the Iran deal, a dumb decision. 

Iran Press/Iran News: "No more JCPOA for the US unless they ask again and we accept," Hassan Rouhani said speaking at the cabinet meeting on Wednesday.

President warned the United States and its allies that Iran would never accept the violation of Resolution 2231 of the United Nations Security Council, and it is Iran’s undisputed right to exit the arms embargo soon within the framework of the resolution.

“We are on the eve of May 08, when President Donald Trump declared US withdrawal from the JCPOA and reimposed sanctions and unparalleled pressure on the history of countries and the history of Iran, in breach of all international laws and regulations, violating UN Security Council Resolution 2231,” he added.

Rouhani said that even if Iran buys a weapon, it will be for defense purposes, and it will not be like gasoline on the fire, but water on the fire, by which we will put out flames and not allow tension to arise.

Iran’s President added: “Trump thought that the Islamic republic would immediately withdraw from the JCPOA, and intended to take Iran's case to the Security Council, however; his dream did not come true by Iran’s planning.”

Hassan Rouhani said that Iran had condemned the US’ action, describing it as UN Security Council Resolution 2231 violation, and announced Iran’s commitment to the deal.

“Iran gave them time to fulfill their commitments under the JCPOA agreement, after that the country began a gradual reduction of the nuclear deal’s commitments,” he added.

Hassan Rouhani stressed that Iran will return to its commitments, provided that all parties to the UN Security Council return to their full obligations.

Elsewhere in his remarks, the President added, "Our oil exports jumped from 900,000 barrels to 2.8 million barrels; all our unfinished projects in all provinces began to be completed; huge refineries, gas units, petrochemical units."

"It was very difficult for the enemies of the Islamic Republic of Iran to see that a country is sitting alone at the negotiation table with the rest of the world and removing all the dangers that threatened Iran," he said. 101
