Nuclear Deal Repudiation to Take Everything Back to Square One: Iranian Speaker

Speaker of Iran’s Parliament says in case the West rescinds the nuclear deal signed by Iran and world powers, everything will go back to the beginning point.

Iranian Parliament Speaker Ali Larijani said the US cancellation of the nuclear deal, also known as the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA) — signed between Iran and P5+1 — will take everything back to square one.

Speaking in an interview with Lebanon-based Al Mayadeen, Larijani further pointed to Tehran-Moscow relations and said the Islamic Republic is moving towards forming a strategic coalition with Russia in the region.

According to a Farsi report by ICANA, he also elaborated on Iran’s negotiations with Arab states, particularly Saudi Arabia, and noted, “Iran welcomes talks with Arab countries, particularly Saudi Arabia.”

Larijani added that Tehran, however, will not set any precondition for such dialogues and will not agree to any condition laid down by the other side.
