Tehran, Jan 23 (Prensa Latina) Iran today urged the United States to adopt the path of peace and courtesy regarding the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA) or nuclear agreement.
Tehran wants to preserve the original multilateral pact and not a new one, Iranian Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif said in an article in Foreign Affairs magazine, reported by Mehr news.
The new US administration, he said, should reject the failed assumptions of its predecessors and embrace peace and courtesy.
In the column titled 'Iran Wants the Nuclear Deal It Made,' it believes that Washington is faced with a choice between flouting cooperation and international law or seeking another path.
As a candidate for president in 2016, Donald Trump promised to stop wasting American blood and treasure on wars in West Asia.
However, during his administration he further ensnared the U.S. in the region and inflamed division to the point where the slightest incident could trigger a major war.
The United States abandoned in May 2018 the Jcpoa signed by Iran, China, France, Germany, Russia and the United Kingdom and now there is an opportunity to correct that mistake, specifies the head of Iranian diplomacy.
US President Joe Biden can choose a better path, he suggested, by putting an end to Trump's failed policy of maximum pressure and return to the agreement.
If he does so, Iran will also return to full implementation of its commitments under the treaty, but, if instead, they insist on getting concessions, that opportunity will be lost.
