Iranian Foreign Minister posted a tweet on his Twitter account, claiming that his country is unwilling to compromise • "Either return to the original agreement from 2015, or there is no agreement at all"
Iranian Foreign Minister Mohammad Javed Zarif posted a tweet tonight (Thursday) on his official Twitter account, stating that Iran will not negotiate the nuclear deal.
"Either they return to the original agreement from 2015, or there is no agreement at all."
JCPOA cannot be renegotiated — period.
If 2021 is not 2015, it's not 1945 either.
So let's change UN Charter & remove the veto — so often abused by US.
Let’s stop posturing — which we both did 2003-2012 to no avail— & get down to implementing JCPOA — which we both actually signed on to.

"In the same way, it is possible to change the UN Charter and we will remove the sanctions that the United States tends to use so often," he wrote.
Zarif added: "Let's stop going out at lunchtime, as we did in 2012-2003 to no avail, and implement the original agreement we signed."
As you may recall, about a week ago, Zarif said that the damages of the United States' sanctions had cost Iran's economy more than a trillion dollars, and stated that his country would demand that Washington pay compensation to Tehran for the damage.
In a more than an hour-long interview with Iranian news network PressTV, the minister said: "The United States has imposed on us 800 different sanctions that have caused economic damage of over $ 1 trillion. We will discuss with the United States compensation when we sit down to negotiate with them, after the sanctions are lifted."
