Iranian President Hassan Rouhani threatened an overwhelming response on Wednesday if the United States goes ahead with its plans to extend the embargo on Iranian trade in conventional weapons, which the United Nations will lift later this year.

Under Iran's agreement with world powers to accept the limits of its nuclear program in exchange for the lifting of sanctions, the UN arms embargo will end in October. The United States, which quit the deal in 2018, says it wants to extend the ban.

In a speech on Wednesday Rouhani repeated Iran's continuous criticism of Washington's decision to abandon the nuclear deal, which he described as a stupid mistake.

If the United States wants to return to the agreement, it must lift all sanctions imposed on Tehran and compensate for the reimposition of sanctions said Rouhani, a pragmatic whose speech toward the United States is often measured more than the speech of some officials.

Iran has gradually withdrawn its obligations under the agreement in response to the US decision to resign but says it wants the agreement to remain in effect. And criticized the European parties in the agreement for failing to save the agreement by protecting its economy from US sanctions.

Rouhani said that Iran's nuclear steps can be reversed if other parties to the agreement fulfill their obligations and maintain Tehran's interests under the agreement.
