DUBAI, 1 March, 2021 (TON): If Washington wants to hold talks to salvage the 2015 nuclear deal with world powers, the U.S. has to lift the sanctions, says Iran on Monday.

“President Joe Biden's administration should change Trump's maximum pressure policy towards Tehran. If they want talks with Iran, first they should lift sanctions,” said foreign ministry spokesman Saeed Khatibzadeh.

The deal was abandoned by the former U.S. President Donald Trump that Iran is concerned about.

However, Tehran will continue to work with the UN nuclear watchdog.
