US President Joe Biden says that restoring the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA), commonly known as ‘the Iran nuclear deal’, must be followed immediately by an agreement on limiting Iran’s missile program and backing of terrorist groups.
Meanwhile, Tehran reportedly reiterated that a new deal to halt the Islamic Republic from having a nuclear bomb is dependent on the lifting of US sanctions placed on the country.
