U.S.: Sanctions Relief Depends on Iranian Compliance with Deal
(AP-U.S. News) Nasser Karimi - White House press secretary Josh Earnest on Thursday reiterated the Obama administration's stance that it would focus on Tehran's actions and not its words. Washington has been "crystal clear about the fact that Iran will have to take a variety of serious steps to significantly roll back their nuclear program before any sanction relief is offered," he said. Earlier Thursday, Iran's supreme leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei said "there will be no deal" if world powers insist on suspending rather than lifting sanctions. "If the sanctions are going to be suspended, then we will also fulfil our obligations on the ground at the level of suspension and not in a fundamental way."
