RNA - "No part of the nuclear deal is negotiable; it is a creditable official international agreement which enjoys the UN Security Council resolution's backup and therefore, the Americans should come out of this vain imagination," Boroujerdi said on Tuesday.

He advised the Europeans not to be coaxed by Washington into raising excessive demands from Iran.

In relevant remarks on Monday night, Iranian Deputy Foreign Minister for Political Affairs Seyed Abbas Araqchi reiterated the country's opposition to renegotiating the 2015 nuclear deal with the world powers, stressing Tehran's preparedness to react to the violation or withdrawal of the internationally-accepted agreement.

"Neither the nuclear deal will be renegotiated nor any annex will be added to it and it will not be related to any other issue. We will not hold talks on the nuclear deal in the future. Our position is clear and logical; we will not renegotiate the nuclear deal at all. The nuclear deal is not related to any other issues, including the missile or regional issues," Araqchi underlined in an interview with the state TV.

Asked about Washington's positions and its attempts to impede full implementation of the nuclear deal, he said, "If the US withdraws from the nuclear deal, no nuclear deal will remain."

"We will act based on our interests and we are ready for all scenarios," Araqchi said.
