A potential decision by Iran to withdraw from a nuclear deal with world powers would be “a logical conclusion” in the wake of the United States’ unilateral pullout from that multilateral deal, says a commentator.

Robert Fantina told Press TV on Sunday that Iran agreed to limit some of its nuclear activities in return for certain financial benefits and “if those benefits [are] not forthcoming; then, Iran has no reason, no motivation, to maintain the agreement.”

“So, returning to previous levels of uranium enrichment [by Iran] is a logical conclusion,” he added.

In an interview with Italy’s Rai News24, Iranian Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif said that a decision to restore uranium enrichment was an option that Iran could use to respond to the US’s withdrawal from the 2015 nuclear deal.
