Iranian foreign minister Mohammad Javad Zarif arrived in New York to participate in the UN General Assembly meeting on sustaining peace.
Zarif said in New York on Thursday night, If Washington exit from 2015 nuclear deal we have widespread choices within and out of JCPOA.
He said to the reporters, wrong policies of the US could put the region to a very dangerous point particularly in Syria. And Referring to the 2015 nuclear deal between Iran and G5+1, officially known as the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA) and a possible US exit from the deal, the Islamic Republic of Iran will certainly act based on its interests and has numerous choices both within and out of the JCPOA to make.
US President Donald Trump is to announce his decision on the JCPOA and extension of sanctions waiver on May 12. Trump had announced in January that the US would not stay in the deal unless it was modified.
Iranian president Hassan Rouhani has announced time and again taht the JCPOA is not negotiable and not even a single line can be dropped from or added to the deal.
