EU didn't fulfill promises under 2015 nuke deal – Iran
Iran's President Hassan Rouhani said on Monday Tehran would continue to scale back its commitments to the 2015 nuclear agreement until the European Union fulfills promises it made under the deal.
Iran has gradually scaled back its nuclear commitments since May after the U.S. pulled out of the deal and has called on European parties to the pact to salvage the deal by shielding Iran's economy from US penalties.
Rouhani, speaking on state television, also said Iran would start working on a more advanced uranium enrichment centrifuge.
On regional tensions, Rouhani said diplomacy was the way to solve differences.
"Ending the war in Yemen will pave the ground for de-escalation in the region," Rouhani said, adding it could also "eventually lead to de-escalation between Iran and Saudi Arabia".
"We want peace and calm in the region ... regional crisis can be resolved through diplomacy and co-operation between the regional countries."
'Pakistan doesn't want conflict between Iran and Saudi Arabia' – Khan
Pakistan will do its utmost to enable talks between arch regional rivals Iran and Saudi Arabia, Pakistani Prime Minister Imran Khan said in Tehran, adding that he will travel on to Saudi Arabia on Tuesday.
"Pakistan does not want conflict between Iran and Saudi Arabia...I am happy to facilitate talks between Tehran and Riyadh...I am very hopeful as I had constructive talks with the (Iranian) president," Khan told a joint news conference with President Hassan Rouhani, broadcast live on state TV.
Khan arrived in Tehran on Sunday and he will later meet Iranian Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei.
Khan said last month that both the United States and Saudi Arabia had asked him to mediate with Iran to calm tensions in the Gulf.
Pakistan has strong relations with Saudi Arabia, with more than 2.5 million of its nationals living and working in the kingdom.
But it also maintains good relations with Iran and represents Tehran's consular interests in the United States.
