An official with France’s presidency said today that Iran must return to compliance with the 2015 nuclear agreement and end provocations if its leaders want the United States to rejoin the deal.

“If they are serious about negotiations and if they want to obtain a re-engagement of all the stakeholders in the [nuclear deal], they firstly need to refrain from further provocations and secondly respect what they no longer respect; that’s to say, their obligations” under the deal, the official told Reuters and other news outlets on the condition of anonymity on Tuesday.
