扎裡夫指出，議會通過的立法將迫使伊朗政府強硬核立場，並補充說，6月的選舉可能會進一步危及協議，他說，報價美國人的時間已經不多了，既因為議會法案在伊朗新年後的選舉氛圍中，總統拜登的政府正在探索如何恢復伊朗在2015年與世界大國簽署的核協議。

Tehran has said Washington must ease sanctions before it resumes nuclear compliance and ruled out negotiations on wider security issues such as Iran's missile program.

德黑蘭表示，華盛頓必須在恢復核履約之前放鬆制裁，並排除就伊朗飛彈計劃等更廣泛的安全問題進行談判。
