(Reuters) – Iran will “immediately reverse” actions in respect of its nuclear program when US sanctions are lifted, Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif said on Friday, reiterating Tehran’s position on Washington’s offer to revive talks. The Joe Biden administration said on Thursday it was ready to revive a 2015 agreement between Iran and world powers that former president Donald Trump abandoned in 2018 before reimposing sanctions on Iran. When sanctions are lifted, “we will then immediately reverse all remedial measures. Breaches of the deal by Iran began in 2019, about a year after Trump withdrew from it. Britain, France, Germany, and the United States called on Iran to refrain from that step and repeated their concerns over recent actions by Tehran to produce uranium enriched up to 20 percent and uranium metal.
