Iranian MP Ahmad Amirbadi threatened in a television interview today (Saturday) that if the United States does not lift economic sanctions on Iran in the coming month, UN International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) inspectors will be deported from the country, Iranian News Agency “.
“If the sanctions are not lifted by February 21, especially in the areas of finance, banking and oil, we will definitely expel the International Atomic Energy Agency inspectors from the country,” Amirbadi said. “This is the law of the Iranian parliament and the government is obliged to implement it.”
Amirbadi explained that “we have given the Americans a one-month opportunity from the moment the new US administration takes office, on January 21” and stressed: “The removal of the reasons was the reason we agreed to the nuclear deal – but it did not happen,
“Implementing the commitments without removing the sanctions has hurt the Iranian nation, and so far the Iranians have suffered from this issue, while the US and Europe have not been harmed,” he noted.

As you may recall, Iran’s spiritual leader Ali Khamenei said last night that Iran is “not pressured” to return the United States to the nuclear deal signed in 2015, from which outgoing President Donald Trump withdrew. However, Khamenei insisted that all existing sanctions on the state be lifted.
“We do not insist or put pressure on the United States to return to the agreement,” Khamenei said in a statement to Iranian television, adding that “the logical thing is what we demand, to remove all sanctions we have today.”
In his speech, Khamenei noted that Iran is ready to retaliate against its violations of the nuclear agreement it has reached so far, but only on the condition that “other parties to the nuclear agreement do so as well.”
