Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei reaffirmed that “Americans should lift all sanctions. Then, we will verify that they have been lifted. If the sanctions have truly been lifted, we will return to our JCPOA commitments. This is our definite policy”. He further argued that “Iran has become much stronger now in comparison with 2016. It has been able to stand on its own feet and find confidence in itself… if the JCPOA is to change, it should change to the advantage of Iran, not them”.
