“We are ready to return to JCPOA if agreements with the EU are finalized and Iran’s meeting with the Group 5+1 is possible only when sanctions are lifted,” he said.

Referring to Iran’s third nuclear step to scale back commitments under the deal, Rouhani said that third step which is underway under IAEA’s supervision is reversible.

Solidity of JCPOA and security in international waterways, including Persian Gulf and Sea of Oman are two major objectives, he said, noting that they will benefit the globe, including the EU and even the US.

“The JCPOA was a great opportunity for all to invest in their growing economy,” he said, noting that it is necessary for the EU, especially France, to play their part in the deal in the best manner.
