US President Joe Biden has said that the US will not lift the economic sanctions imposed on Iran.
The US says that this is being done to maintain pressure on Iran to re-implement the Iran nuclear deal.
In an interview recorded for CBS News on Friday, Biden was asked if the US would lift sanctions to prepare Iran for talks.
In response, the President said, ‘No’.
When he was asked whether Iran would have to stop uranium enrichment, he shook his neck in response.
However, it could not be clear what he was trying to say.
Iran is allowed a limited amount of uranium enrichment under the 2015 nuclear deal.
Former US President Donald Trump pulled the US out of the nuclear deal with Iran in 2018.
Biden says he will re-implement the Iran deal.
On the other hand, Iran’s supreme leader Importullah Khamenei has said on Sunday that Iran will return to the nuclear deal with the US only when the sanctions are lifted from it.
A nuclear deal was signed between Iran and 6 powerful countries of the world in 2015 under which strict restrictions were imposed on Iran’s uranium enrichment.
These restrictions have made it difficult for Iran to develop nuclear weapons.
