President of the Atomic Energy Organization of Iran Mohammad Eslami made the remarks on the sidelines of a cabinet meeting in the Iranian capital Tehran, while elaborating on Iran's nuclear activities and cooperation with the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA), according to the official news agency IRNA.
He said the E3 group (France, Britain, and Germany) can't expect Iran to fully implement the nuclear deal, formally known as the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA), as none of them are fulfilling their obligations under the deal.
He noted that Iran's nuclear measures are being implemented under a law passed by the Iranian parliament in 2020 to counter US sanctions, adding that Iran will continue the same trend until the sanctions are fully lifted.
