Head of the Atomic Energy Organization of Iran (AEOI) Ali Akbar Salehi said that the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA) will improve the conditions of the non-proliferation treaty (NPT), adding that the nuclear agreement will best serve the interests of Iran and the international community.

"Although some countries have been making every effort to undermine the deal, they have not been successful in their attempts up to now," Salehi told reporters on Tuesday.

He reiterated that the JCPOA is an operational agreement, and said, "The strong support of the European countries, Russia, and China for the nuclear deal would help preserve the agreement despite the US measures to violate and cancel it."

Salehi underlined that the nuclear deal will strengthen the NPT and is in the best interest of Iran and the international community.

In relevant remarks on Monday, Iran warned Washington to take the right decision about the 2015 nuclear deal, stressing that Tehran is able to reciprocate any US violation.

"The Americans should take the right decision as our hands are not tied and if they decide not to remain committed to their undertakings, we can also do many things," Spokesman of the Atomic Energy Organization of Iran Behrouz Kamalvandi said in an interview with the state TV.
