Iran’s President Ebrahim Raisi has denied that his country has made major concessions in talks to revive the 2015 nuclear deal, the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA).

During a speech on Sunday, Raisi said that Iran has been able to get “a considerable amount of its demands” from other countries since his administration came to office. “In no meeting or negotiation did we sell the rights of the people short,” he said, adding that his administration did not “tie the lives of the people to foreign factors.”
