Iran Front Page - A presidential advisor says if the United States wants something more than the 2015 nuclear deal, it needs to give Iran concessions beyond those of the JCPOA.

President Rouhani�s senior advisor Hessamoddin Ashena said in a Sunday tweet that Trump should give more concessions and also guarantees that the US will remain committed to its obligations.

The Iranian advisor�s comments come as the 2015 nuclear deal had been backed by the UN Security Council Resolution 2231, and had the approval of the P5+1 group of countries � the US, China, Russia, France, Britain, and Germany.

However, Trump withdrew the US from the deal and reinstated nuclear sanctions against Iran.

�Barack Obama used to say if sanctions are stopped a war may happen, and now Donald Trump says either surrender or sanctions, and the war is also waiting for you,� Ashena said.

�Tehran is not seeking war and should not be sanctioned, but war and sanctions are two sides of the same coin,� he added.

He also rejected Washington�s claim that it is ready to hold negotiations without pre-conditions in light of threats and sanctions.

Tensions have heightened between Tehran and Washington following the intrusion of a US stratlinto Iranian territory by a drone. IRGC shot down America�s UAV on Thursday.
