　　According to reports, Iranian Foreign Minister Zarif said: “For the United States, time is running out, not only because of the (Iranian) parliamentary bill, but also because of the Iranian New Year we will be busy with elections.”

　　He reminded that Iran will hold elections in June. If a hardliner is elected as Iran’s president, the nuclear agreement may end.

　　Zarif emphasized: "The more the United States delays, the more it loses."

　　In July 2015, Iran reached a comprehensive agreement on the Iranian nuclear issue with the United States, Britain, France, Russia, China, and Germany.

According to the agreement, Iran promised to limit its nuclear program and the international community lifted sanctions against Iran.

In May 2018, the US government unilaterally withdrew from the Iran nuclear agreement, and subsequently restarted and added a series of sanctions against Iran.

　　Since May 2019, Iran has gradually suspended the implementation of some of the terms of the agreement, but promised that the measures taken are "reversible."

　　On January 4, 2021, Iranian government spokesman Ali Rabie said that Iran has begun to implement measures to increase the enrichment of uranium to 20% at the Fordo nuclear facility.

　　The Biden administration of the United States has stated that as long as Iran re-complies with the Iran nuclear agreement, it is willing to ease the sanctions imposed by the Trump administration on Iran.

Iran said that the United States should relax sanctions on Iran before resuming compliance with the nuclear agreement.

　　On February 5, 2021 local time, US Secretary of State Brinken held a video conference with the foreign ministers of Britain, France, and Germany to discuss how to restart the Iran nuclear agreement reached in 2015.
