Iran: N. Agreement A Done Deal, Case Dismissed, Revision Impossible


TEHRAN (FNA)- Iran says the US "fix-it-or-nix-it" approach towards the nuclear deal would end up nowhere but entailing dearly costs for the White House as no other option is on the table with this done deal.


"Europe and Iran are committed to the nuclear deal and Iran will not be the first party to withdraw from the agreement and will monitor the developments fully vigilantly and will not allow others to cancenl the deal at its cost," Foreign Ministry Spokesman Bahram Qassemi told reporters in his weekly press conference in Tehran today.


"There is no way for the nuclear deal to be reviewed and it came into action with the back up of the 2231 resolution," he added.


Qassemi once again warned the US and other countries willing to discard the deal of the high price of their policies, promising that they will be the losers.


In relevant remarks in March, Iranian Deputy Foreign Minister Seyed Abbas Araqchi warned against the breaching of the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action by the US, and said that the JCPOA is not only a nuclear deal, but also a security agreement which should be abided by all parties.


"Should the JCPOA face any setbacks by other parties, it will have severe consequences for the international community," Araqchi said.


He reiterated that the JCPOA is a security agreement and is directly involved with the regional and international security.


The Iranian deputy foreign minister, meantime, said that for over a year, US President Donald Trump has been trying to destroy the JCPOA or make some changes in it in order to what he calls "fixing" it, but he has been unable to achieve any results.


Araqchi reiterated that in case of any setbacks to the nuclear deal, the consequences will be severe for the entire international community.


"The international community, and even the US allies and the European countries are against Trump’s position on JCOPA,” he said, adding, "The UN Security Council resolution which also includes the nuclear deal, will prevent what Trump is intending to do.”


Araqchi underlined that the Islamic Republic of Iran for months has been declaring that it is prepared to respond to any potential scenario regarding the fate of the JCPOA.


"We are definitely well-prepared to respond quickly to any decision made by Trump or others; we will fully defend the interests of the Iranian people," he added.
