Commenting on US President Donald Trump's threats to quit the Iran nuclear deal, Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif stressed that the Islamic Republic will resume its nuclear program at a faster pace.

Zarif on JCPOA: Iran to Resume Nuclear Program Faster if US Leaves Deal

Zarif made the remarks Friday in an interview with American TV Channel ‘CBS'.
'We have put a number of options for ourselves, and those options are ready,' Zarif told 'Face the Nation' moderator Margaret Brennan, 'including options that would involve resuming at a much greater speed our nuclear activities.'

'Those options are ready to be implemented and we will make the necessary decision when we see fit,' CBS quoted Zarif as saying.

'Obviously the rest of the world cannot ask us to unilaterally and one-sidedly implement a deal that has already been broken,' he added.

The US administration has done a great deal over the past year to kill Iran nuclear deal.

Trump is expected to announce his decision regarding suspending sanctions against Iran and continuing the implementation of the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action [JCPOA] on May 12.

The International Atomic Energy Agency [IAEA] has already confirmed ten times Iran's commitment to the landmark July 2015 international deal.
