Lawmakers reiterated the stance of Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif who has ruled out the possibility of renegotiating the Iran nuclear agreement. as demanded by the new Republican US administration.
As per the international law. a multilateral deal cannot be put up for renegotiation. Yahya Kamalipour said in an interview with ICANA on Monday. As he campaigned for the White House. the new US President Donald Trump railed against the historic pact. seen as a foreign policy legacy of his democratic predecessor. Barack Obama.
He branded it as a disaster and the worst deal ever negotiated and once even vowed to tear it up if he became president. although he later backtracked on that threat. conceding that it would be too hard to dismantle a deal enshrined in a UN resolution.
He promised to alter the terms of the accord instead. It was concluded in July 2015 between Iran and the US and its five other partners and took effect six months later to end sanctions in return for curbing Iran`s nuclear activities.
Those partners. namely France. Britain. China. Russia and Germany. have refused to go along with Trump`s idea of revising the deal.
