He added that no one can question Iran's good intentions in maintaining the agreement, pointing out that his country has given ample opportunity for diplomacy, and if circumstances do not change, it will continue the path of reducing commitments, stressing that "the interests of the Iranian people are more important than maintaining an agreement with other countries."
