TEHRAN, Nov 25 (KUNA) -- Iranian President Hassan Rouhani called on the administration of the US President-elect Joe Biden on Wednesday to return to the nuclear deal from which US President Donald Trump withdrew in 2018.
"The policy of the Islamic Republic of Iran, as it has repeatedly emphasised, is commitment for commitment, action for action, reduction of tension for reduction of tension, respect for respect and international commitments for international commitments," the website of the Iranian presidential office quoted Rouhani as saying during the cabinet meeting.
"Iran and the United States can both decide and announce that they will return to the terms of January 20, 2017," he added.
"This can be a great solution to many issues and problems, and completely change the course and conditions, and then we can continue taking the next steps on different issues," Rouhani mentioned.
In 2018, Trump withdrew from the nuclear deal between Iran and the P5+1 group regarding its nuclear program and reimposed a series of strict financial, banking and oil sanctions against Tehran.
In turn, Biden said during his election campaign that if he wins the presidential election, he will return to the 2015 nuclear deal, signed under the former US President Barack Obama. (end)
