The President of Iran, Hassan Rouhani, on Wednesday dismissed any potential changes to the previously agreed-upon nuclear accord and rejected the inclusion of other countries into the deal, reported AFP.  

The nuclear accord, from which Donald Trump ejected the US, has got the support of US President Joe Biden for the re-entrance of US. However, Biden has urged Iran to review its stance on the expansion of the deal and to fully comply to it.

Saudi Arabia, a country which shares a hostile relation with Iran, has requested to be included in the negotiations for the deal.

The Iranian leader said in a public meeting with his cabinet, “No clause of the JCPOA will change. Know this. And no one will be added to the JCPOA. This is the agreement. If they want it, everyone comes into compliance. If they don’t, they can go live their lives”, reported AFP. 

The former US President Donald Trump engaged a “maximum pressure” policy on the middle easter rival and imposed intense and substantial sanctions in 2018. 

In response to the sanctions imposed by Trump, Tehran started to ignore terms of the agreement which effected its nuclear development strategy. 

On Monday, Mohammad Javad Zarif, the Foreign Minister of Iran suggested a diplomatic way out of the tussle between Washington and Tehran by requesting the European Union to intervene for the purpose of carrying out a “synchronised” transaction of terms.
