Iran’s hardline president-elect urges end to US sanctions

“I seriously recommend that the US government swiftly return to its commitments and remove the entirety of the sanctions,” said Raisi, a cleric close to supreme leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei. “The Iranian people don’t have a happy memory of the nuclear deal because it yielded the unexpected: the US breaking its promises and the Europeans not carrying out their obligations under the deal.”

Iran said the next round of talks to revive the 2015 nuclear deal is likely to be the last, while European diplomats fretted that time to clinch an agreement is slipping away as hardliner Raisi prepares to take power. His election is expected to mark a more hostile approach to the West, and especially the US.
