(MENAFN) On Wednesday, Iran strongly refused the possibility to accept any new agreement made by the US and the European states on the 2015 nuclear deal, stressing that the internationally-endorsed deal is not renegotiable, semi-official Fars News Agency reported.
"I, as a representative of the Islamic Republic of Iran, declare at this international security conference in which representatives of over 100 countries from 5 world continents are present that any agreement made by Europe and the US on the future of the nuclear deal and Iran's nuclear program for the era after the limitations envisaged in the nuclear deal end, is invalid and worthless in our view," Secretary of Iran's Supreme National Security Council (SNSC) Ali Shamkhani said, addressing the security conference in Sochi, Russia.
"I assure you that certainly their dreams about Iran will not come true," he added.
Shamkhani stressed that any renegotiation of the sunset clauses and the date on which the sanctions should be terminated at the end of the JCPOA's 10-year-long period would push the nuclear deal into collapse, given the fact that the world powers had themselves undertaken to lift them under the nuclear deal.
