translated from Spanish: Iran warns Europe and calls for changes to nuclear pact

TEHERON (AP) — Tehran will “take a strong step” away from the nuclear pact with international powers if Europe cannot offer new terms before the deadline expires this week, an Iranian government spokesman said Monday while senior diplomats Iran traveled to France and Russia for last-minute negotiations. Ali Rabiei’s comments to journalists in Tehran highlighted the deadline set by the country, which gave Europe until Friday to propose a way for Tehran to sell its oil on the global market. These sales were halted due to us-imposed sanctions after President Donald Trump withdrew his country from the deal a year ago.

Iran has already exceeded the uranium storage and enrichment limits set by the 2015 agreement. However, Tehran has said that these steps can be reversed quickly.
