Iran’s President Hassan Rouhani has warned that the Islamic Republic will go ahead with the third step of rolling back its commitments under the 2015 nuclear deal in coming days if Europe fails to carry out its duties.

Iran’s Deputy Foreign Minister for Political Affairs Seyyed Abbas Araqchi says the US has shown some "flexibility" regarding the easing of Iran oil sanctions during a recent meeting with the French president.

Head of the Atomic Energy Organization of Iran (AEOI) Ali Akbar Salehi has promised that the country will have "good news" about its heavy water nuclear reactor in Arak.

The head of the Atomic Energy Organization of Iran (AEOI) Ali Akbar Salehi says the Islamic Republic is dynamically advancing its civilian nuclear program, stating that it has recently launched a plant that can manufacture dozens of advanced centrifuges on a daily basis.

Iranian President Hassan Rouhani says he will consult with “relevant officials” today on the results of Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif’s recent trip to Biarritz, France, and his talks with European members of the G7.

G7 leaders have agreed that French President Emmanuel Macron should hold talks and pass on messages to Iran, a French presidential source said.

Iranian Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif says French President Emmanuel Macron’s offers to save the Iran nuclear deal are in the right direction, but more work need to be done.

Iranian Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif says his negotiations with French President Emmanuel Macron on ways to save the Iran nuclear deal were good and constructive.

Secretary of Iran’s Supreme National Security Council (SNSC) Ali Shamkhani highlighted the futility of the Trump administration’s “maximum pressure” campaign against Tehran and said the pressures cannot force the Islamic Republic to return to nuclear negotiating table.

The Atomic Energy Organization of Iran (AEOI) has voiced readiness to take the third step in a phased reduction of commitments to the 2015 nuclear deal and has even assembled a number of 6th-generation centrifuge machines.

The spokesman for the Atomic Energy Organization of Iran (AEOI) has warned that Tehran will definitely take the third step in a phased reduction of commitments to the 2015 nuclear deal in around a month, should the remaining parties to the JCPOA fail again to honor their undertakings.

The Iranian foreign minister says the country will go ahead with implementing the third phase of scaling back its commitments under the Iran nuclear deal.

Iranian Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif says the United States is opposed to the Islamic Republic for its refusal to surrender, but is okay with the killing of hundreds of its citizens by those who buy American weapons.

Iran’s President Hassan Rouhani says the more time passes, the more difficult it will be for Tehran and Europe to roll back to the point before Iran began scaling down its commitment under the Iran nuclear deal.

Iran’s deputy foreign minister says during the JCPOA Joint Commission's meeting held on Sunday in Vienna, the participants held constructive talks on the 2015 nuclear deal, while expressing their opposition to the US' unilateralism.

Accusing Iran of trying to develop a nuclear bomb has prevailed in the West among scholars, journalists and politicians, at least for the past decade. The 2015 nuclear agreement was expected to put an end to this fabricated concern and pave the way for normalization of Iran’s relations with the international community. However, the US decision to withdraw from the deal, and Europe’s failure to live up to its commitments, showed that reaching this point will not be as easy as it was perceived.

Seyyed Abbas Araqchi, the special envoy of Iranian President Hassan Rouhani, has met with French President Emmanuel Macron to deliver the Iranian president’s written message.

New solid evidence has given rise to suspicion that Israel has played a key role in the death of the International Atomic Energy Agency’s Chief Yukiya Amano, a report by Tasnim news agency said.

Iran’s Foreign Ministry spokesperson says the next session of the Joint Commission of the JCPOA will be held at the level of deputy foreign ministers in Austria’s capital of Vienna on July 28 as a prelude to a ministerial meeting.

Yukiya Amano, the director-general of the International Atomic Energy Agency, has passed away at the age of 72, the IAEA announced on Monday in a note to member states.

Spokesman for the Atomic Energy Organization of Iran, Behrouz Kamalvandi, has dismissed as baseless the reports on closure of Fordow nuclear plant, saying the uranium enrichment site remains operational.

Secretary of Iran's Supreme National Security Council, Ali Shamkhani, says enrichment of uranium for peaceful purposes is the right of all parties to the NPT, and this right cannot be denied of or given to any country.

Iran’s president says Tehran is determined to keep open all options for preserving the 2015 nuclear deal with world countries while ensuring it derives its interests under the agreement.

The spokesman for the Atomic Energy Organization of Iran (AEOI) Behrooz Kamalvandi says Iran has no plan to trespass the current 4.5-percent enrichment level in the near future, but in the next phase, it may grow to 20%.

Leader of Iran’s Islamic Revolution Ayatollah Seyyed Ali Khamenei says the United Kingdom’s seizure of the tanker carrying Iranian oil in Gibraltar will receive an appropriate response in due time.
