Rouhani: there will be no deal without lifting sanctions

Iran will not sign any nuclear agreement with the P5+1 group, if all the economic sanctions are not lifted on the first day after the deal signed, Iranian president Hassan Rouhani said.

"We will not sign any deal unless all sanctions are lifted on the same day. We want a win-win deal for all parties involved in the nuclear talks," Reuters cited Rouhani as saying.

At the same time, White House spokesman Josh Earnest said that it would not be wise, and it would not be in the interest of the international community, to simply take away all of the sanctions on day one.
