President Rouhani contended that the U.S. “must understand that sticking to warmongers and war-mongering policies is no good and they must abandon warmongers and war-mongering policies and maximum pressure”. He also argued that “using peaceful nuclear technology is the Islamic Republic of Iran’s policy, and our logic regarding the JCPOA is commitment vis-à-vis commitment”. “If they [i.e. the deal’s other signatories] live up to their commitments, we will do the same, and if they violate their agreements, we will follow the same path”, Rouhani added.
