Iranian Government spokesman, Ali Rabiei , has said Trump’s departure from office has brought about calmness and a stress-free state in the international arena.

 Rabiei on Tuesady disclosed that “With the departure of the Trump administration, the world has got out of the stress state, a new situation has emerged in the international atmosphere.”

He added that Iran had not had any official contact with President Biden’s government, stressing that Tehran was waiting for the U.S to fulfill its commitments and lift the sanctions imposed by Trump’s administration from Iran.

“We have no contact with the new U.S. administration.

“We are still waiting for the U.S. administration’s official position concerning returning to commitments and lifting illegal sanctions as an inseparable part of these commitments,” he stated.  

A report disclosed that “In 2015, Iran, China, France, Germany, Russia, the United Kingdom, the U.S. and the EU signed the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA), stipulating the removal of international sanctions from Tehran in exchange for it scaling down its nuclear programme.

In 2018, Trump pulled the U.S. out of the JCPOA and re-imposed sanctions on Iran.

Tehran responded by gradually abandoning its own commitments.

On Jan. 22, Iranian Foreign Minister Javad Zarif said that the window of opportunity for the new U.S. administration to return to the deal had limits, as Iran was determined to achieve the removal of sanctions,” a report stated.
