"On behalf of my nation and state, I would like to announce that our response to any negotiation under sanctions is in the negative, Rouhani said.

Stating that the government and people of Iran have remained steadfast against the harshest sanctions in the past one and a half years, Iranian President said they will never negotiate with an enemy that seeks to force Iran to surrender with the weapon of poverty, pressure, and sanction.

"If you are sensitive to the name of the JCPOA, well, then you can simply return to its framework and abide by UN Security Council Resolution 2231. Stop the sanctions so as to open the way for the start of negotiations," Rouhani said. (ILKHA)
