President Rouhani reiterated that Iran attaches great importance to its relations with IAEA and expressed hope that bilateral cooperation will be strengthened.

“JCPOA was a very important agreement for Iran and 5+ 1 Group which created peace and security both in the region and world,” Rouhani said.

President Rouhani pointed to the US failures in the UNSC for returning Iran's sanctions and said, “The significance of JCPOA is tangible well for members of UN Security Council and the US has not achieved success since it withdrew from JCPOA.”
