Iran to honor commitment on nuclear plan: Rouhani

Iran would honor its commitment to stop acquiring nuclear weapons as concluded last July with world's major powers, Iranian President Hassan Rouhani said on Wednesday.

"Today Iran decided more than ever to honor commitments regarding nuclear accord, provided that our partners in the Security Council and Germany respect their engagement," Rouhani told French broadcaster Europe 1 and France2 TV channel.

"Iran has always cooperated with the International Atomic Energy Agency and reports clearly showed that," he added.

After long and intensive talks in Vienna, Austria's capital city in July, six world major countries, China, France, Germany, Russia, Britain and the United States, along with Tehran, agreed an accord to ensure that Iran's nuclear program would remain exclusively peaceful in return for lifting sanctions.

However, concerns over the country's nuclear plan had risen after it had tested a long-range missile last month.

According to the West, the recent test violated the Security Council resolution 1929, which dated from 2010 and prevented Iran from testing ballistic missile aimed to deliver nuclear weapons.

Iran has been a target of UN sanctions due to its alleged attempts of building nuclear weapons. The West accused Iran of developing nuclear weapons under the cover of civilian nuclear programs, which Iran denied. Endit
