TEHRAN, February 26 - Iranian Foreign Ministry Spokesman Bahram Qassemi said the Islamic Republic of Iran would give a ‘necessary response’ in case the US pulls out of Iran’s 2015 nuclear deal with P5+1 countries.

Iran to give ‘necessary response’ if US quits nuclear dealTEHRAN,Young Journalists Club (YJC) - The Islamic Republic of Iran is watching US conduct on the nuclear deal, he said.

The US administration and Trump have failed to reach a conclusion on the nuclear deal and different voices are heard from the US, Qassemi noted.

The US is trying to make a psychological atmosphere to deny Iran of interests of the nuclear deal.

The US is using a non-honest way to press the Islamic Republic of Iran and deny it of interests of the deal, he said.

Qassemi referred to US new conditions on the nuclear deal, saying that the US has many experiences in obstructionism and making accusations against the Islamic Republic of Iran and it is not a new issue.

Iran and the P5+1 countries — namely the US, Russia, China, France, Britain, and Germany — finalized the nuclear accord, officially called the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA), in July 2015 and started implementing it in January 2016.

Under the deal, Iran undertook to apply certain limits to its nuclear program in exchange for the termination of all nuclear-related sanctions against Tehran.

However, US President Donald Trump sees the agreement as a legacy of his predecessor — former president Barack Obama — that he should undo.

Last month, Trump extended waivers of key economic sanctions on Iran, lifted under the JCPOA, for another 120 days but said he was doing so “for the last time.”

He also called on European allies and the US Congress to work with him to “fix the disastrous flaws” in the pact or face a US exit.
