TEHRAN, September 21 - British Prime Minister Theresa May supported Iran’s 2015 Iranian nuclear deal with P5+1, urging all sides to continue commitment to the deal.

Theresa May calls on Iran’s nuclear deal sides to live up to commitmentsTEHRAN, Young Journalists Club (YJC) - “I explicitly announced at the United Nations that the JCPOA is a very important agreement, and we are determined to continue [implementing] it,” May said during a meeting with Iranian President Hassan Rouhani in New York on Wednesday on the sidelines of the 72nd UN General Assembly session, according to the official website of the Iranian president.

“We should make sure… that obligations stipulated in the JCPOA will be fully implemented,” she added, urging all parties to the deal, including the US, to fulfill their commitments under the deal.

Rouhani, for his part, called on all sides of the nuclear deal to abide by their obligations to their commitments, adding that all should make efforts to contribute to the sustainability of the deal.

Iran and the five permanent members of the UN Security Council – the United States, France, Britain, Russia and China – plus Germany signed the JCPOA on July 14, 2015 and started implementing it on January 16, 2016.

Under the JCPOA, Iran undertook to put limitations on its nuclear program in exchange for the removal of nuclear-related sanctions imposed against Tehran.

The administration of US President Donald Trump has on numerous occasions criticized the deal, calling it a mistake.

Backed by UN Security Council Resolution 2231, the JCPOA is an international agreement, which makes it impossible for any party to the deal to withdraw from it.

During the meeting, Rouhani also expressed Tehran’s readiness to further cooperate with London on regional issues.

TEHRAN, Young Journalists Club (YJC) - The Iranian president and the British prime minister also called for the expansion of bilateral ties., Presstv reported.

The two sides also discussed the latest developments in the Middle East region, including the war in Yemen and the upcoming Kurdish independence referendum in Iraq.

Heading a high-ranking delegation, the Iranian president arrived in New York on Sunday night to participate in the 72nd session of the United Nations General Assembly and hold talks with senior officials of some other countries attending the meeting.

Rouhani has met with several leaders and heads of state on the sidelines of the UN General Assembly meeting.
