Iranian Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif told the Rome Mediterranean Dialogue 2020 Thursday that if the Biden administration wants to reenter the Iran nuclear deal, it must do so with no preconditions.
During the conference, which was held virtually, Zarif spoke about the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA) — the Iranian nuclear deal signed by the five permanent members of the UN Security Council plus Germany and Iran and ratified by Security Council Resolution 2231. He said, “The US exited the JCPOA but they did not exit the UN; as a member of the UN they have responsibilities.” He added, “As a permanent member of the Security Council they must adhere to Resolution 2231.”
