Press TV - Iranian President Hassan Rouhani says the country and Europe are unlikely to reach an agreement on ways to save a 2015 multilateral nuclear accord, and that Tehran will go ahead with its plan to announce the third step in scaling back its commitments under the accord.

�It is unlikely that we will reach a result with Europe today or tomorrow. We will announce Iran�s third step, which is highly important in nature and will accelerate the activities of the Atomic Energy Organization of Iran (AEOI),� Rouhani was quoted as saying by his deputy chief of staff for communications and information, Parviz Esmaeili, on Wednesday.
