Iran to further cut nuclear commitments as of Friday: Rouhani
Tehran (KNA) - Iranian President Hassan Rouhani says the country will expand its nuclear research and development as of September 6, setting aside the restrictions imposed on the country's R&D in the 2015 nuclear deal with world powers.
Rouhani made the announcement in a press conference on Wednesday night, following a trilateral meeting with Iran's Judiciary Chief Seyyed Ebrahim Raisi and Parliament Speaker Ali Larijani.
Since May, Iran has been suspending some of its commitments under the nuclear deal, officially known as the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA), which was clinched between Tehran and world powers in 2015. The country has already rowed back on its nuclear commitments twice in compliance with articles 26 and 36 of the JCPOA.
According to Rouhani, the third step will be taken on Friday, September 6, after talks between Iran and the P4+1 group of countries did not bear "the desired result."
