White House: lifting of anti-Iranian sanctions should not be instantaneous

The international community isn't interested in lifting all sanctions against Iran in a single day, White House spokesman Josh Earnest said.

"It would not be wise, and it would not be in the interest of the international community, to simply take away sanctions, take away all of the sanctions on day one," he added.

According to Earnest, the lifting of sanctions was not the first thing on the agenda, as it was seen as a response to the implementation of Iran's obligations under the agreements on the nuclear program.
