Iranian Foreign Minister Javad Zarif said on Monday that the United States must quickly work to revive the 2015 Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action nuclear deal, due to Iran’s June 18 presidential elections.
After the elections, it will be half a year before the new government is able to “do anything serious,” said Zarif, according to Reuters.
“The Europeans are used to compromise. Iran and the United States are not. The Americans are used to imposing, and we are used to resisting. So now is the time to decide: Will we both compromise and go back to the JCPOA, or will we go back to our own paths?” he said.
“It is advisable for the United States to move fast and moving fast requires them not be shy, but takes measures that they need to take,” added Zarif, according to the report.
