Rouhani: Iran can return to its commitments under nuclear deal within one hour

TEHRAN, July 3 (MENA) - Iran will increase its level of uranium enrichment after July 7 to whatever levels it needs beyond the 3.67 percent cap set in the landmark 2015 nuclear deal, Iran's President Hassan Rouhani said on Wednesday.

Rouhani said if the remaining signatories of the nuclear deal with world powers do not fulfill their promises, then the Arak nuclear reactor will return to its previous activities after July 7, Al Arabiya news website reported.

Rouhani added that Iran could return to its commitments under the nuclear deal within one hour.

The comments come as tensions remain high between Iran and the US over the deal, which President Donald Trump pulled America from over a year ago.

“Our advice to Europe and the United States is to go back to logic and to the negotiating table,” Rouhani added. “Go back to understanding, to respecting the law and resolutions of the UN Security Council. Under those conditions, all of us can abide by the nuclear deal.”
