Rouhani said in a cabinet meeting that no clause of the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA) will be changed. Also, no one will be added to the JCPOA, he noted, asking signatories to honor the deal.
On Monday, Iran Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif asked the European Union to coordinate a synchronized return of both Washington and Tehran into the deal, after a diplomatic standoff on who should act first. Zarif said that EU foreign policy chief Josep Borrell should play a role in his position as coordinator of the 2015 agreement.
