Iranian President Hassan Rouhani has sent a list of demands to France, Germany and Britain as its price for staying in the nuclear accord, vowing not to give in to growing U.S. pressure to curb its oil sales and complicate efforts to salvage the deal.
The statement on the official government website, dolat.ir, didn’t give details of the letters Rouhani sent to French President Emmanuel Macron, German Chancellor Angela Merkel and U.K. Prime Minister Theresa May. But it said he had decided to spell out Iran’s conditions for staying in the deal to his European partners before it’s too late.
