Iran would accept changes to nuclear deal: spokesperson

Iran is willing to give reassurances on not seeking nuclear arms and accept changes to its 2015 nuclear accord with world powers if the United States returns to the deal and lifts sanctions, a government spokesperson said Wednesday.

"If the sanctions are ended and there is a return to the [nuclear] accord, there is room for giving reassurances towards breaking the deadlock and the President [Hassan Rouhani] has even a proposal for small changes in the accord," the spokesperson, Ali Rabiei, said on state TV.
