Mohammad Javad Zarif, "Our nuclear program will continue. When the agreement is ready, and if for example the West says, "we will impose new sanctions," then we will be able to do so too, by removing our commitments in the process. It was clear that if the other party violates its commitments, then we can also do the same thing. "
