Iran’s best response to US violations of the 2015 nuclear deal between Tehran and the P5+1 group of countries, known as the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA), would be to continue with its path of diplomacy and to maintain the agreement alongside other signatories, says an academic.
“I believe that Iran’s best response would be to continue with its path of very pragmatic and responsible diplomacy and to find a way to maintain the agreement with the other P5+1 [countries] and EU partners, which would achieve the effect of demonstrating that it is in fact the United States that is a rogue nation,” David Yaghoubian, professor of history at CSU San Bernardino, told Press TV in an interview on Monday.
“So if there is a way for Iran to continue with responsible activity to maintain the JCPOA or to somehow recast it with the other responsible members of the international community … this will serve the purpose of maintaining stability within the region and maintaining Iran’s sovereignty and rights,” he added.
