All to regret nuclear deal failure: President Rouhani

President Hassan Rouhani says everyone will regret the possible collapse of the landmark nuclear agreement reached between Iran and the P5+1 group of countries in 2015 as the US continues its efforts to sabotage the deal and issues threats to pull out of it.

In a meeting with French Foreign Minister Jean-Yves Le Drian in Tehran on Monday, the Iranian president added that it is imperative to save the nuclear agreement, officially known as the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA), in order to improve regional security, stability and cooperation.

"Of course, We will be ready for any conditions, which would not be favorable to us," the president added.

"The survival of the JCPOA will prove to the world that negotiations and diplomacy are the best options to solve problems," President Rouhani said.

Rouhani; however, warned that any collapse of the nuclear deal would mean that political negotiations are a waste of time.

The president urged all the signatories to the JCPOA to remain committed to their obligations under the deal, saying, "Iran will never be the first party to violate the JCPOA and regards this deal as effective in increasing regional and international trust, peace, cooperation and stability."

The French foreign minister, for his part, said Paris was keen to save and implement the nuclear deal.

Reports by the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) have proved that Iran has fully complied with the JCPOA, he said, adding that France would make its utmost efforts to save the accord.

Europe regards the nuclear agreement as a fundamental document for improving regional development and stability, Le Drian noted.

He emphasized that Iran and France could have positive cooperation on ways to improve regional stability and security, prevent humanitarian catastrophe in regional countries, and settle the ongoing crises in the region.
