Iran ‘ready to return to pre-nuke deal era’: Official
The semi-official Mehr News Agency quoted Ali Akbar Salehi, the head of Iran’s Atomic Energy Agency, as saying that Iran was ready to return to the “pre-nuclear deal era”.
“We are ready to return to the pre-nuclear deal era and produce highly-enriched uranium if necessary,” he said.
He added: “But I hope we never need it.”
On the same day, US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo issued a lengthy list of demands that the US wants to include in a new nuclear deal with Iran.
Earlier this month, US President Donald Trump pulled Washington out of a landmark 2015 nuclear accord between Iran and the P5+1 group of nations (the five permanent UN Security Council members plus Germany).
Trump’s decision had faced stiff opposition from most other members of the P5+1.
