Iran’s diplomatic spokesperson maintained that manufacturing enriched uranium metal was “merely for peaceful purposes… and its production is by no means contradictory to observation of any non-proliferation or nuclear treaty”. He further reiterated that “Iran is ready to halt its remunerative measures and return to observing its full JCPOA commitments as soon as the unjust sanctions are terminated, but no one should expect Iran to unilaterally observe its JCPOA commitments, as it once did before”.
