Tehran, Jan 8, IRNA – US Secretary of State John Kerry said the implementation of the Iran nuclear agreement may be only 'days away,' since the Islamic Republic is meeting its commitments, according to media reports.


Kerry told reporters in Washington on Thursday that he had spoken to his Iranian counterpart, Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif, who promised Tehran would live up to its promises made under the nuclear accord, officially known as the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA), Presstv reported.
The United States would be ready to begin lifting its sanctions against Tehran, he added.
Last July, Iran and the P5+1 group of world powers – the US, Britain, France, Russia, China, and Germany – concluded talks on Iran’s nuclear energy program in Vienna.
Under the agreement, Iran has been recognized by the United Nations as a nuclear power and will continue its uranium enrichment program, but some restrictions will be placed on Iran’s nuclear program in exchange for the removal of sanctions.
